We are pleased that our Ganymirra and Majors Creek Solar Power Stations near Townsville in North Queensland have been awarded a Capacity Investment Scheme Agreement. These projects will be among the first of Edify Energy’s hybrid solar power stations, which combine low-cost solar energy with the dispatchability and stability properties of grid-forming battery technologies, to meet the stringent demands of a high renewable penetration market. We thank the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water for its support and recognising the quality of our projects and the exceptional capabilities of our team.
