A large-scale renewable energy development in the New England Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) has entered the federal environmental approvals process, opening opportunities for suppliers and contractors across civil works, transmission, and energy storage.
Suppliers and service providers to New South Wales’ resources sector are being presented with new opportunities as the Hillgrove Mine in the New England region moves forward with an extension of operations valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.
A significant renewable energy project is progressing toward approval in northern New South Wales, with plans to construct and operate a 133 MW alternating current (AC) solar farm and 360 MW battery energy storage system (BESS), providing four hours of storage capacity (1,440 MWh).
