GRS has reached an agreement with Recurrent Energy, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar, to build the Carwarp photovoltaic plant, which represents a new milestone for the company in Australia. With this project, which will have a capacity of 171 MWdc, GRS will exceed 2GWp in the Australian market.
Carwarp Solar Farm, located 35 km south of Mildura, in Victoria, is set to become the cornerstone of sustainable energy production in the region, providing clean, reliable energy to thousands of homes and businesses.
The project involves the construction of a state-of-the-art solar farm with advanced bifacial modules supplied by Canadian Solar, as well as single-axis trackers from PV Hardware, also part of Gransolar Group. The solar farm will be connected to the newly planned Ausnet’s Carwarp terminal station via a 6.7 km 220 kV overhead line, ensuring efficient transmission of the generated power.
