Our patron has formalized the sale of energy from both projects, which have a combined capacity of 360 MW
Our parent company Naturgy, through its international generation subsidiary Global Power Generation (GPG), has commissioned two new photovoltaic plants in Australia with a combined capacity of 360 MW. These are the Glenellen and Bundaberg projects, which bring the group's installed capacity in the country to 1.3 GW.
The Glenellen project, with a capacity of 260 MW, is Naturgy's largest photovoltaic plant to date in Australia. Located in the state of New South Wales, it covers an area of 300 hectares and has approximately 373,000 solar modules. The projected renewable energy generation is 450 GWh/year, equivalent to the consumption of more than 80,000 homes, and will prevent the emission of approximately 385,000 tons of CO2 equivalent into the atmosphere.
Glenellen is an agrivoltaic plant that will integrate renewable energy generation with agricultural activity, reinforcing Naturgy's commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly energy models. Furthermore, livestock farming through sheep grazing has been maintained throughout the plant's operation.
Meanwhile, the Bundaberg solar plant represents Naturgy's first project in the state of Queensland. The facility has an installed capacity of 96 MW, with more than 162,000 solar modules, and will generate approximately 200 GWh/year, equivalent to the consumption of around 36,000 homes and preventing the emission of more than 170,000 tons of CO2 equivalent into the atmosphere.
The company has formalized the sale of energy from both projects through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), which strengthens revenue visibility and business stability. Both projects strengthen Naturgy's renewable energy portfolio in Australia and consolidate its presence in two key states of the Australian energy market.
For Naturgy, Australia is an attractive market for renewable energy development thanks to its regulatory stability, high growth potential, and commitment to the energy transition. The company has been present in the country for over 15 years and, in addition to the 1.3 GW in operation, has 0.5 GW under construction and a 2 GW pipeline of projects in development.
