The 300 MW Walla Walla Solar Farm in southern New South Wales, hailed as one of the state’s biggest, has begun generating power less than two years after Fotowatio Renewable Ventures Australia reached financial close on the project.
Renewable energy and battery storage developer Fotowatio Renewable Ventures says it has raised more than $1.2 billion in new debt finance for its Australian clean energy assets, including its first standalone battery project planned for Victoria.
FRV Australia has reached financial close on its Walla Walla Solar Farm thanks to a PPA with Microsoft. The company is also progressing its second big battery in Australia, the 250 MW / 500 MWh Gnarwarre battery in Victoria, after winning support from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency.
At nine solar farms and counting, FRV Australia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Saudi and UAE-based Abdul Latif Jameel, has the experience and commitment to local development to bring difficult projects to fruition. Walla Walla Solar farm adds a whopping 300 MW to the renewable capacity of NSW, and its size and siting have required particular attention to concerns raised in the agricultural Riverina district.
