Japanese coal company Sojitz and its oil company partner Eneos have committed to building a 204MW solar farm in the Western Downs region of Queensland.
The investments was announced by the Queensland government on Thursday, on the same day that it revealed it would create a $2 billion renewables and hydrogen fund to support new projects and jobs, and its target of 50 per cent renewables by 2030.
The solar farm will be built at Edenvale, along the Condamine to Kogan Road, about 20 kms south of Cinchilla, and in an area with a number of other solar projects already operating or under construction. See RenewEconomy’s new Large Scale Solar Farm Map of Australia
