WA backs local manufacture of standalone power systems and wind turbine parts
The WA state government will commit $26.4 million to invest in the buildout of a local clean energy manufacturing sector.
$18.4 million will be used to roll out another 50 locally made standalone power systems (SPS) across regional WA, and another $8 million to support the local manufacturing of wind turbine components.
The investment is designed to drive local manufacturing on clean energy projects and boost the creation of local manufacturing jobs.
WA’s Labor government has already delivered 56 locally built standalone power systems across regional WA since 2021.This has allowed for the removal of around 184 kilometres of overhead powerlines in the regions
We’ve got the wind and solar to power a cleaner, affordable and reliable energy future for WA, and our investment means it’s local businesses building the parts we need to become a renewable energy powerhouse.
