MADRID, 22 (EUROPA PRESS)
The Sebastopol solar plant of Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV), located in New South Wales (Australia), has met the requirements for its operation on a commercial scale, which allows it to operate at 100%, as reported by the electricity company in a release.
With a capacity of 90 megawatts of nominal photovoltaic power (MWac), Sebastopol has the potential to meet the energy demand of up to 40,000 homes.
The plant began operations in December and has since contributed to meeting local energy needs and economic development in the area, while driving Australia’s transition to green energy. Now at 100% operating capacity, the plant will further advance FRV’s mission to “support Australia’s clean energy mandate”.
“We are delighted to see that the Sevastopol solar plant is running at 100% capacity and generating clean energy. This is a key milestone for FRV Australia’s commitment to the energy transition towards net zero emissions”, said Carlo Frigerio, CEO of FRV Australia.
Precisely, the Sebastopol project brings FRV closer to its goal of decarbonising the international energy system and building “a more sustainable future in its strategic markets”.
Fotowatio Renewable Ventures Australia is part of Abdul Latif Jameel Energy and the Canadian fund OMERS Infrastructure.
For Fady Jameel, Deputy President and Vice President of Abdul Latif Jameel, an energy producer of which FRV is a part, the project represents “a new and exciting chapter in FRV’s mission to offer clean energy in Australia, but also as part of its global ambition to boost clean energy consumption around the world”.
For its part, Omers Infrastructure, has highlighted its investment in the electricity company to “support this energy transition”.
