Following the 18-month design and build, Ventia will operate and maintain this important site for an initial period of 24 months.
The Mulwala Solar Farm will provide an additional energy source to Defence, as well as helping them meet their commitments to net zero.
Lena Parker, general manager energy solutions, says Ventia’s 35-plus year relationship with Defence means they are well positioned to understand the requirements when it comes to the energy transition.
“Through this project, Ventia will be helping our client reduce their reliance on grid-supplied electricity,” Parker said.
“It will also contribute to their commitment to decarbonisation, reducing their greenhouse gas emissions.”
Lena and her team will be delivering this project with the support of engineering and construction experts.
“We have brought together a very strong team who I am confident will deliver not only a robust facility, but also provide service excellence to our client in doing so,” Parker said.
“As more and more coal assets are retired and we move toward renewable energy sources, we need to ensure reliability of power supply to key infrastructure across Australia.
“I am excited to be leading a team of subject matter experts who will help deliver this reliability and resilience to our clients.”
