The project is also set to become one of Australias first large-scale DC-coupled solar and storage projects. This configuration offers several advantages over traditional AC-coupled systems, including improved efficiency, reduced equipment costs and enhanced flexibility in energy dispatch. Polar Racking supplied foundation solutions for the utility-scale development. PCL Construction has been appointed as the engineering,
The biggest flashpoints for the solar industry will likely come over the rumoured restrictions on digital technology supply chains. Europe’s solar inverter market is dominated by Chinese firms, led by Huawei, Sungrow, GoodWe and Deye, and harsher restrictions on component supply could bar some of these companies from critical infrastructure projects. Huawei is already heavily

The decision sees the proposal clear a major regulatory hurdle for the development located 15km east of Eneabba in the Mid-West region. Western Australia-based electric and gas utility Synergy submitted the development application for the 2GW solar-wind-BESS project in September 2025. The Tathra project features up to 140 wind turbines generating up to 1GW of capacity,
The best-performing utility-scale solar PV asset for December 2025, by AC capacity factor, was SUN Energy’s Merredin Solar Farm in Western Australia, which achieved an AC capacity factor of 45.2%. Located in the Wheatbelt region, the 132MW facility has consistently ranked among the top solar performers in the country, benefiting from high solar irradiance and
