An aerial view of the Wollar Solar Project in Australia.
The Wollar Solar Project in Australia, undertaken by POWERCHINA, successfully connected to the grid and began generating electricity on Sept 19.
The project is both the largest solar power initiative in New South Wales and POWERCHINA's first overseas EPC venture in Australia.
The project is located about 5.5 kilometers south of Wollar village and approximately 300 kilometers from Sydney. With a total direct current capacity of 346 megawatts, it features around 604,800 cutting-edge N-type solar modules, 3,600 string inverters, 5,400 tracking supports, 1,220 AC combiner boxes, and 58 containerized transformers.
The project is expected to generate approximately 546 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, equivalent to saving around 164,000 metric tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 400,000 tons. This will further optimize the local energy structure and contribute to the global transition toward clean and low-carbon energy development.
