RET talk shuts down Mildura solar power plant


Even the mere suggestion the Australia’s Renewable Energy Target would be reduced, or even scrapped completely, has brought immediate consequences.


The story reports: “The proposed multi-million dollar 100 megawatt Silex Mildura Power Station Project, located in Carwarp, has been abandoned following uncertainty surrounding the revised Renewable Energy Target and low wholesale electricity prices.

“The Mildura solar power station would have provided electricity to 40,000 homes.

“But the company behind the project, Solar Systems, says it could be scaled back to a more feasible operation,” the Weekly Times report notes.
