en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK contractor INTEC Energy Solutions has confirmed it will serve as the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor for Lightsource bp's Lower Wonga solar and storage project in Australia. Located in the Gympie region of Queensland, the project will feature a 380 MW peak photovoltaic power station paired with a 281 MW/843 MWh battery energy storage system.

Spanning approximately 600 hectares, the Lower Wonga project aims to generate enough electricity annually to meet the demand of around 126,000 households through the coordinated operation of solar power and battery storage. INTEC will oversee the full EPC scope and collaborate with battery technology supplier Gotion High-Tech Australia to advance the storage system construction.

Construction has commenced, with a target completion date of 2028. Australian mining company Rio Tinto has committed to purchasing 40% of the project's electricity output, corresponding to 112 MW of AC-side solar capacity and approximately three hours of storage duration. As the 380 MW solar and storage project enters the EPC implementation phase, demand for large-scale photovoltaic systems, battery storage, substations, and grid connections in Queensland is expected to further increase.
