19.01.2022 Today, a major step has been taken in the development of the largest renewable energy system in the world right here in the Territory. The milestone agreement signed today provides a roadmap for our Government and Sun Cable to work in partnership towards the 22 billion dollar Australia-ASEAN Power Link project, which will see up to 8 billion dollars invested in the NT, with the sunny Barkly region chosen for the solar farm and battery storage facility. Power from this sit...e will be available 24/7, with a 30GW storage facility supported by the solar farm providing a reliable, affordable energy supply, unlocking the potential for a green manufacturing hub in Darwin. Creating 1,500 jobs during construction and 350 ongoing positions, this project shows confidence for investing in both the NT and in renewable energy, which is good for the environment as well as our economy.
