Solar River Project

Solar River Project is a proposed photovoltaic power station planned to be built near Robertstown in South Australia.

[1] The project received development approval from the Government of South Australia in June 2018 and was expected to start construction early in 2019.

[2] However, as of November 2021[update], the project was still proposed to be constructed, but work on site was not expected until at least the second half of 2022.

[6] Downer Group was engaged in January 2019 for early contractor involvement, with construction expected to commence in July 2019 and stage 1 to take two years to build.

[9] Alinta Energy had committed to buy 75% of the solar farm's output for 15 years,[10][11] however that contract expired due to delays in the project caused by issues such as the withdrawal of Downer Group as EPC contractor.
