Spanish company Solarig has reached a key milestone in its international trajectory by surpassing 2 GW in operation and maintenance (O&M) of renewable energy assets in Australia. This achievement comes with the incorporation of the Stubbo Solar plant, a 520 MWp facility located in New South Wales, which has already started commercial operations.
Solarig exceeds 2 GW with Stubbo Solar as key new asset
Stubbo Solar, developed by ACEN Australia and built by PCL Construction, will have an estimated annual generation capacity of 1,000 GWh, enough to cover the electricity demand of 185,000 homes. In addition, at a later stage, a battery storage system with storage system with 200 MWh batteries storage system, a key element to strengthen the stability of the Australian power grid.
With an operational presence in five states, Solarig has strengthened its position as the largest independent operator of renewable energy O&M services in the Australian market. The company operates facilities in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and New South Wales, with assets such as Bungala Solar Farm (275 MWp) and Darlington Point (333 MWp).
Circularity and environmental commitment
Stubbo Solar is the first large-scale PV project in Australia to receive certification for total circularity under the Circular PV Alliance standard. This means that its 930,000 solar panels are destined to be reused or recycled at the end of their useful life, setting a precedent for future sustainable infrastructure in the region.
In a context where the Australian market is consolidating as one of the most active in the world in energy storage, Solarig already operates a global fleet of BESS with more than 4.2 GWh of capacity. Its technical management model, based on advanced analytics and certified local control centers, is designed to maximize the performance and availability of these systems.
