Australian solar database – 161 projects, and 19GW of capacity

RenewEconomy and consultancy Sunwiz are proud to announce the commencement of a new service tracking Australian solar farms that will bring you all the information you need to understand the outlook for Australian solar farms.

We will be bringing you regular updates within our newsletters, with full details on each individual project available for service subscribers.

To obtain more information on our service, please go to this page – https://reneweconomy.wpengine.com/large-scale-lookout-australian-solar-database/.

SunWiz and RenewEconomy are now tracking 161 solar farms through their development cycle. There is currently 19GW worth of solar projects that have been publicly announced, with more seeing the daylight with each passing week.

What’s interesting is that the solar farms that we’re tracking could generate in excess of 28.5TWh each year if they were all developed, which is almost as much generation as is required by the Renewable Energy Target (33TWh).

The lion’s share of the projects are based in Queensland, which alone has seen almost 10GW of projects announced.

To get the full details of each individual project, total volume in MW, and much much more, visit https://reneweconomy.wpengine.com/large-scale-lookout-australian-solar-database/

Warwick Johnston is the managing director of SunWiz, a board director of the Clean Energy Council, and an Australian representative to the IEA.  Giles Parkinson is founder and editor of RenewEconomy.
