This report identifies the opportunities for cost reduction in the optimisation of material delivery to the Nyngan Solar Plant.
Report extract
Opportunities for cost reduction exist in the optimisation of material delivery – specifically through the evaluation of multiple delivery points (Adelaide vs. Sydney) and form of transport (road vs. rail). It is also important to monitor the existing transport networks to maximise regional transport hubs.
Implications for future projects
Following the experience in Nyngan, First Solar has established and built on existing relationships with transportation and logistics companies. Significantly, Adelaide has been identified as the optimal Port for module shipment for the Nyngan project.
