WA-based contracting firm GCo Electrical has won contracts in both South Australia and Victoria to engineer, procure and construct solar farms.
The company is an industrial and infrastructure specialist based in Geraldton with offices nationally.
Sydney-based Renew Power Group appointed GCo Electrical to work on its $9 million solar project in Peterborough, north of Adelaide.
The South Australian solar farm is expected to be up and running by March 2018, with plans to output on the market over delaying to secure a power purchase agreement.
The 4.9MW solar project will be the second largest solar project on the South Australian grid, once the 220MW Bungala project is also complete later next year.
Victorian solar energy equipment provider RayGen has been granted $4.8 million by the federal government’s Australian Renewable Energy Agency to continue the commercialisation of its solar power system, PV Ultra.
RayGen has appointed GCo Electrical to construct its 0.5MW solar PV demonstration farm in Bridgewater.
GCo has previously worked on Australia’s largest solar farm in Nyngan, New South Wales
