The Winton North development will be delivered in two phases, with the 100MWac solar plant followed by a 100MW\/200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). Once operational in 2027, the installation is expected to generate 227GWh of clean energy annually.<\/p>\n
All Energy Contracting was awarded the construction contract in late 2025 and is delivering an end-to-end electrical and trenching package.<\/p>\n
Spanish power electronics specialist Ingeteam\u00a0secured a contract\u00a0to supply inverters and control systems for the project<\/a>, including PV inverters, storage inverters, and a hybrid power plant control (PPC) system.<\/p>\n The scope includes plug-and-play medium-voltage power stations that integrate inverters, LV\/MV transformers, MV switchgear, and auxiliary service panels, along with Ingeteam\u2019s Multi Plant Controller system, designed to help grid operators manage performance while ensuring power quality and stability at the interconnection point.<\/p>\n The Winton North project was included among several solar developments supporting Amazon\u2019s AU$20 billion (US$14.48 billion) commitment to expand Australia\u2019s data centre infrastructure using utility-scale solar power.<\/p>\n The project will connect to AusNet\u2019s existing transmission network at Glenrowan Terminal Station via approximately 5km of electrical line, with sections running overhead on poles and others underground.<\/p>\n European Energy\u2019s expanding renewables portfolio<\/p>\n The module installation milestone follows European Energy\u2019s\u00a0inauguration of the 108MW Lancaster Solar Farm<\/a>\u00a0in March 2026, which marked the company\u2019s first operational utility-scale project in Australia.<\/p>\n That facility, featuring approximately 170,000 solar modules across 172 hectares, supplies Apple with renewable energy under a long-term power purchase agreement. The inauguration took place during the Danish Royal Couple\u2019s State Visit to Australia.<\/p>\n European Energy\u2019s 31MW Mulwala Solar Farm in New South Wales has also completed construction and is in commissioning, with energisation imminent.<\/p>\n
