Fotowatio Renewable Ventures Australia<\/a> has started generating clean energy at its solar farm in Metz, Australia, which is expected to reach full capacity over the coming months. The plant will contribute to the energy needs and economic development of the local area, while helping to drive Australia\u2019s transition to green energy.<\/p>\nCovering 248 hectares and located in a rural area the plant will eventually have a net annual energy production capacity of approximately 320,000 MWh, with an output of 115 MWac, capable of meeting the energy demand of up to 40,000 households. It\u00b4s estimated that when Metz Solar Farm reaches 100% capacity will avoid 288.000 tons of Co2 emissions every year.<\/p>\n
So far, the project has positively impacted the local community, creating more than 100 jobs during construction with the potential for further job openings once the operations phase begins.<\/p>\n
Metz Solar Farm project signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Snowy Hydro in 2018 and closed the financing agreement in December 2020 with Westpac and NORD\/LB in the form of a Green Loan compliant with the Loan Market Association Green Loan Principles and the Green Projects requirements.<\/p>\n

\n We are excited to see another FRV\u2019s project start injecting clean electricity into the grid and we look forward to see the plant at its full capacity soon. <\/div>\n
\n Carlo Frigerio <\/div>\n
\n FRV Australia Managing Director <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
<\/p>\n
The project brings FRV closer to its goal of decarbonizing the international energy system and building a more sustainable future in its target markets. Beon Energy Solutions (Beon) is the EPC Contractor carrying out the construction which is now reaching its final stages.<\/p>\n
\n
\n Shaping the future of the global energy sector is a key priority for Abdul Latif Jameel Energy alongside FRV. We are impressed with the progress made by the Metz solar farm in generating clean energy for the local community. This project undoubtedly boosts FRV’s contribution to Australia\u2019s green energy transition and, more broadly, to decarbonizing the international energy system. <\/div>\n

\n Deputy President and Vice Chairman of Abdul Latif Jameel <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n We applaud the progress made to date at the Metz Solar Farm and commend the diligent efforts of everyone working to bring this project to a successful conclusion. <\/div>\n
