Clean energy solutions provider Gentari has reached a key milestone with the recent issuance of a ‘Notice to Proceed’ for its Maryvale Solar and Energy Storage Project located in Maryvale, New South Wales (NSW), approximately 37km southeast of Dubbo. The Maryvale Solar and Energy Storage Project is a next-generation hybrid renewable energy facility with approximately 243MWp of Photovoltaics (PV) DC-coupled with ~2.4hr of advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity. The project’s maximum export capacity into Australia’s National Electricity Market is 172MW, and it can import up to 91MW. By combining solar generation with energy storage, the project ensures the delivery of long-duration green electricity, enhancing grid reliability and stability. This integration creates a source of power that is affordable, clean, reliable, dispatchable, and firm for NSW. “The Maryvale Solar and Energy Storage Project marks a key step in Gentari’s ongoing efforts to contribute to the global energy transition. By integrating advanced solar and storage technologies, we aim to provide reliable renewable energy while supporting the decarbonisation of the grid. This project is an important part of our commitment to helping NSW and Australia meet their clean energy goals. At Gentari, we remain steadfast in our goal to enable a cleaner, more sustainable future, leveraging strong partnerships and innovative solutions to drive impact.” – Low Kian Min, Chief Renewables Officer, Gentari. Following the recent signings of the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract with PCL Construction‘s Solar Division, the PV Module and Battery Energy Storage System supply contracts with top tier Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) Trinasolar and Contemporary Amperex Technology Australia Pty Ltd, the Grid Connection Agreement with Distribution Network Service Provider (DNSP) Essential Energy, and confirmation of land agreements, all primary contracts are now in place for the project to transition from development to delivery phase. Additionally, with the LTESA award by AEMO Services as the NSW Consumer Trustee through its fourth tender, the Maryvale Solar and Storage Project is set to become one of the first Solar-BESS hybrid projects under the LTESA framework. This milestone highlights the project’s impactful role in advancing NSW’s Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap and supporting the transition to a renewable energy-powered grid. It also reflects Gentari’s commitment to inclusive progress by collaborating with key stakeholders to empower local communities and underrepresented groups, fostering their active participation in the clean energy transition. As Australia accelerates its shift away from fossil fuels, Gentari remains committed to working alongside industry and policymakers to develop solutions that balance energy security with sustainability. The company continues to focus on delivering clean energy solutions that help drive the nation’s decarbonisation efforts, including the responsible phase-out of coal-fired power where appropriate. Construction is due to commence by end of Q1 2025, with commercial operations anticipated to start in Q2 2027. |
