Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) says it has been awarded the right to develop a 20 MW PV plant in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) following its success in the reverse feed-in-tariff solar auction conducted by the ACT government.
FRV's Royalla solar farm will include approximately 83,000 PV panels and will be built 23 km south of Canberra.
Construction of the plant is due to begin in 2013 and be completed in 2014, subject to environmental assessment and approval of the project by the ACT government. The required federal environmental approval has already been granted.
