☀️ Great to join ENGIE AU and project partners last week to celebrate the commissioning of the 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘁 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺, 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮'𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺. The event was an opportunity to connect with partners and stakeholders, reflect on the collaboration that brought the project to life and hear from ENGIE CEO Laura Caspari on this significant milestone. AusNet is proud to have delivered the terminal station and transmission connection infrastructure supporting the 250MW solar farm, on budget and ahead of program. Projects like this play an important role in connecting more renewable energy into Victoria's network and supporting the state's energy transition. The photos include members of our connection infrastructure team, Dennis Baldacchino PMP and Abdul Latif Bhanger, who played a key role in delivering this outcome. Thank you to Dennis, Abdul and everyone involved, and thank you to ENGIE for partnering with us on this important project. #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #SolarEnergy #Transmission #Infrastructure #Collaboration
Truly a great milestone for Victoria’s energy transition. Delivering the connection infrastructure ahead of program is definitely impressive. This highlights how critical grid connection capability is becoming as more renewable generation comes online.
Well done Dennis and Abdul! Amazing effort and so proud of the team!
Congrats for AusNet and Engie! We are proud to support... our first Transformers supply to AusNet ...delivered within less than 1 year, thanks to the team collaboration
Team Baldacchino delivering another A-grade renewable asset for Australia’s much needed energy transition. Well done Dennis Baldacchino PMP. Proud son moment 🙌
Nice one Abdul! Another great project, congrats!
For a 250 MW solar project, the grid connection is a multidisciplinary interface, not just an electrical package. Early alignment of equipment reactions, foundation tolerances, earthing, cable routes and construction access can prevent late civil changes and protect commissioning dates.
