The Hazelwood North project is an approved 450MW hybrid solar and battery energy storage development spanning 1,100 hectares between Morwell and Traralgon in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley. The facility is designed to pair 450MW of solar generation with a 4-hour, 1,800MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). Construction is expected to commence in 2028, with commercial operations
Preliminary works are already underway on site, with full construction to follow this spring and commercial operations expected in late summer 2027. The 49,000 high-efficiency 640W modules from Chinese manufacturer Trina Solar have already been shipped to Napier ahead of installation. Trina Solar has supplied modules for multiple earlier Lodestone projects, including Kohirā, Rangitaiki and

That approach is no longer sustainable. Across Europe, the first generation of utility-scale PV assets is moving into a phase where end-of-life questions are becoming immediate rather than theoretical. In parallel, many newer projects are also being assessed earlier than expected because of repowering considerations, lease changes, performance declines, insurance issues, changes in land-use priorities

According to local media outlets, the proposed project will be a “vertically integrated energy transition manufacturing ecosystem” spanning the full solar PV value chain, including ingots, wafers, solar cells and finished modules. Additionally, the reports stated that the Kolkata-headquartered company aims to generate up to 12,000 “green jobs” in the region. As part of the early-stage discussions, Vikram Solar has reportedly sought an appointment with the West Bengal Chief Minister
