Windorah goes solar with innovative energy agreement
18th March 2009
Ingenero has just completed a significant installation of over 40kW of solar panels at Windorah, in outback Queensland. As part of the Barcoo Shire Council’s environmental strategy, the new solar power installations feature 30kW at the Windorah Cultural Centre and 10kW at the Windorah Sport Centre. With the abundant supply of sunlight within the region, they will generate at least 178kW hours per day on average.
This supply of renewable energy will save approximately 60 tonnes of CO²-e emissions per year! With another two PV systems installed at Jundah, Barcoo Shire Council now has over 70kW of solar power capacity generating power off their rooftops. How do they afford it? With an Ingenero PPA that’s how. By signing a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Ingenero, Barcoo Shire Council have 4 world class solar systems on their facilities which have been designed, installed, maintained and are owned by Ingenero. The council simply buys the energy generated by the systems. The Queensland Government Net Feed-in-Tariff sweetens the deal further by paying Barcoo Shire Council for any excess power they put back into the grid.
