PVTIME – In a signing ceremony, CMEC Guolian joined forces with Tonic Group (TG) and Precious Iron (PI) to embark on an ambitious solar energy project in Western Australia. The signing ceremony, which took place in Wuxi, formalised the agreement to develop a cutting-edge solar photovoltaic project in Binningup.
The project’s initial phase will utilise approximately 87 hectares of land adjacent to the Binningup Industrial Park. Designed as a 85MWp (direct current)/75MW (alternating current) pastoral-photovoltaic hybrid initiative, it is set to be a game-changer in the industry. This innovative setup maximises energy generation and optimises land use by combining livestock farming with solar power production.
A key feature of the project is its integrated energy storage system. With 50% of the total capacity capable of storing energy for two hours, it will ensure a stable and reliable power supply. In terms of power distribution, half of the generated electricity will enter the grid for open-market trading, while the remaining 50% will be sold directly to nearby high-energy consumers via Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). This dual approach secures diverse revenue streams and supports local industrial energy demands.
To drive the project forward, the three parties will establish a joint venture. By pooling their expertise in technology, resources and market access, they aim to create seamless synergy. Their collective goal is to transform the Binningup photovoltaic project into a leading example of clean energy in Western Australia. Designed to be a hub for efficient power generation, intelligent operation and maintenance, and environmental sustainability, the project is set to transform the region’s renewable energy landscape.
