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.

Spanning 165 hectares, the Cunderdin Solar Farm incorporates a 55 MW / 220 MWh battery energy storage system and is crucial for Western Australia’s renewable energy future. It generates 200 GWh of clean energy annually, displacing fossil fuels and preventing the release of 145,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, an environmental benefit comparable to planting millions of trees.

The careful planning and effective workforce management required for this large solar farm in Cunderdin saw TradeConnex play a vital role by providing over 40 skilled labourers for mechanical and electrical work. TradeConnex also enhanced efficiency and the work environment by arranging accommodation and transport for talent, demonstrating the importance of a well-supported workforce in achieving renewable energy goals through the successful integration of solar technology and skilled labour.

Cunderdin Solar Farm is among the utility scale solar projects in Western Australia supported by TradeConnex labour hire.

Project summary

The challenge

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

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 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.
