Cunderdin Solar Farm

Project Name: Cunderdin Solar Farm
Client: Global Power Generation Australia Pty Ltd
Location: Western Australia
Project Timeline:

The Cunderdin Solar Farm, a 128 MW DC photovoltaic solar system, is a significant addition to Western Australia’s renewable energy landscape.

The farm spans 165 hectares and includes a 55 MW / 220 MWh battery energy storage system.

The Cunderdin Solar Farm plays a crucial role in Western Australia’s renewable energy future. It generates 200 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean energy each year. This displaces the need for traditional fossil fuels. As a result, the farm prevents the release of 145,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually. This is a significant environmental benefit. It’s like planting millions of trees.

Building a large solar farm requires careful planning. This is especially true in locations like Cunderdin. You need to effectively manage a workforce. TradeConnex played a vital role. They provided over 40 skilled laborers for mechanical and electrical work.

TradeConnex also enhanced logistical support. They arranged accommodation for the workers. They also provided transportation to and from the job site. This improved efficiency and made the work environment more positive.

The Cunderdin Solar Farm is a success story. It shows how combining solar technology with a skilled workforce can deliver significant results. This project demonstrates the importance of a well-supported workforce in achieving renewable energy goals.

Project summary

The challenge

The challenge

Construction of the 130MWdc Glenrowan Solar Farm in regional Victoria, required effectively recruiting and integrating a large workforce of over 110 skilled workers into the local community to ensure the timely and successful installation of the solar farm.
The solution

The solution

TradeConnex supplied over 110 skilled tradesmen, labourers, and operators for the Glenrowan Solar Farm. To ensure timely installation, TradeConnex supported these staff by integrating them into the local community to foster a positive working environment
The result

The result

The Glenrowan Solar Farm is expected to generate renewable electricity to power 55,000 Australian homes, contributing towards the Victorian Government’s Renewable Energy Target (VRET) and supporting the transition to a carbon-neutral future.
