Takeover target Spark proposes giant NSW green energy hub
Energy infrastructure operator Spark Infrastructure (ASX:SKI) has announced a double whammy this morning, revealing a $5 billion international bid for its business and plans for a monster 2.5GW wind, solar and battery storage hub to feed the New South Wales grid.
Transmission and distribution network owner Spark owns 15% of NSW’s Transgrid and 49% of Victoria Power and SA Power Networks.
It also has a small and growing renewable generation arm including the 100MW Bomen solar farm.
Den Haag is begonnen met het uitdelen van gratis bomen aan de inwoners. Iedereen die dat wil, kan er een aanvragen bij de gemeente. Michelle de Jong, medewerker van Café Boom bij het Zuiderparktheater, nam donderdagmiddag de eerste in ontvangst uit handen van GroenLinks-fractievoorzitter Arjen Kapteijns.

Four new large scale solar farms joined Australia’s main grid in the first quarter of 2021, but there is still no sign of generation from the country’s biggest wind project, the heavily delayed 530MW Stockyard Hill wind farm.
According to the Australian Energy Market Operator, the four new solar farms that joined the National Electricity Market in the March quarter were the Glenrowan West (110 MW), Cohuna (27MW), and Winton (85MW) solar farms all in Victoria and the 30MW Corowa solar farm in NSW.
That helped lift average grid-scale solar output to a record quarterly high of 1,070MW, beating the previous record set in the December quarter by 48MW.
