The Katherine photovoltaic farm is the largest facility in the Australian Northern Territory and it is integrated with technologies that ensure optimal performance in all weather conditions. The electricity produced is fed into the grid and distributed to the local market, thus contributing to supporting the decarbonization roadmap laid out by the local Government.
Australia offers great opportunities for growth in photovoltaics due to its geography and climate. In addition to continuing our activities in the renewables sector, we are exploring the possibility of launching CO₂ capture and storage projects.
Country: Australia
Activity start date: 2019 – present
Energy from renewablesThe Katherine photovoltaic power plant has an installed capacity of 34 MW and is equipped with a battery energy storage system with capacity of 6 MW. In addition, the plant is equipped with weather forecasting technology that anticipates possible lower solar irradiation and thus optimises the use of batteries and minimises the impact of production fluctuations on the grid. Katherine is the largest photovoltaic plant in the Northern Territory of Australia and contributes to the local Government's target of producing 50% of energy from renewable sources by 2030.
We have developed a number of initiatives in collaboration with the local communities to promote culture and the environment.
