It is anticipated that all project approvals will be in place by 30 June, and that construction will be completed and generation commenced in Q4, 2019.

    Dr. Lu, Chuan, the CEO of Astronergy commented: “Astronergy is actively engaged in the solar industry and the successful acquisition by ReNu Energy marks a big milestone for Astronergy in the Australian market.

  3.
