ACCIONA Energy has completed the commissioning and start of commercial operation of the photovoltaic plant Aldoga (480MWp) on the central coast of Queensland, AustraliaThe facility will supply its production to the state corporation. Stanwell Corporation under a 15-year contract, boosting regional decarbonization.
Environmental impact and strategic PPA agreement
The entry into operation of Aldoga This represents a significant milestone in the region's renewable energy generation capacity. The infrastructure will generate clean electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 185.000 homesIn terms of sustainability, its operation will prevent the emission of approximately 934.000 tons of CO₂ per year, a figure that the company equates to removing 360.000 combustion vehicles from the roads.
All renewable energy production from this facility will be channeled to the state-owned company. Stanwell CorporationThis operation is governed by a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with a duration of 15 years, which guarantees the stability of supply and contributes decisively to accelerating the energy transition in Australia.
The key figures for the project are detailed below:
| Indicator | Data / Figure |
|---|---|
| Installed capacity | 480 MWp |
| Location | Queensland, Australia |
| Customer (Off-taker) | Stanwell Corporation (PPA 15 years) |
| Emissions avoided | 934.000 tons of CO₂/year |
| Local investment (materials and services) | AU$150 million (€90 million) |
Local investment and community development
The development of Aldoga It has had a strong component of boosting the local economy. During periods of peak construction activity, the project generated 350 local jobsIt also provided a direct boost to the local economy through the purchase of materials, components, and services from local suppliers worth up to AU$150 billion (about €90 million).
Beyond electricity generation, ACCIONA Energy has implemented initiatives to improve the environment and provide social support:
- Improvement of critical infrastructure, such as the road Flynn Road.
- Creation of a grant program for local organizations (education, health, emergency services and culture).
- launch of Legacy Investment Programme, designed to support larger and longer-term community projects.
ACCIONA Energía's expansion in Australia
With the activation of Aldoga, ACCIONA Energy reaffirms its position in Australia as a priority strategic market. The company has already accumulated almost 2GW of renewable power, considering both installed capacity and capacity under construction, encompassing wind and solar technologies.
In parallel with this milestone, the company is making progress in finalizing the commissioning of the wind farm. MacIntyreAlso in Queensland. With a capacity of 923 MWThis facility is positioned as one of the largest wind farms in the entire southern hemisphere, consolidating the firm's leadership in the Asia-Pacific region.
