On June 23, Beijing Energy International’s Wollar Solar Project in Australia successfully achieved full-capacity grid connection. This project marks the company’s first photovoltaic investment in Australia and stands as the largest overseas solar project of Beijing Energy Holding. The full-capacity grid connection represents a significant milestone in the company’s global new energy deployment and a key achievement in enhancing its capability to manage large-scale overseas projects.
Located in New South Wales, Australia, the Wollar Solar Project has a total installed capacity of 280 MW(AC). All solar modules are equipped with single-axis tracking systems to improve generation efficiency. During implementation, the project team overcame challenges such as remote location, the COVID-19 pandemic, and policy uncertainties. Through coordinated efforts, the team advanced key stages including module installation, system commissioning, and grid connection, ultimately realizing full-capacity grid connection.
This successful grid connection indicates that all equipment and systems have completed commissioning and passed the rigorous grid connection compliance tests set by Australian grid authorities, enabling the project to operate at full capacity. Once operational, the project is expected to generate over 600 million kWh of clean electricity annually—equivalent to saving about 200,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon emissions by about 500,000 tons per year. It can meet the annual electricity needs of over 100,000 households, delivering significant environmental and social benefits. Moving ahead, the company will build on the success of the project to advance the development of the Wollar Energy Storage Project, further optimizing the local energy mix and contributing more broadly to the global transition toward clean and low-carbon energy.
