Report extract
This document describes the approach taken and learnings from the first 10 solar arrays delivered by Power and Water Corporation (Power and Water) through the Solar Energy Transformation Program (SETuP). These 10 sites are collectively referred to as Tranche One. This report is part of the program’s knowledge sharing activities, forming a key deliverable under the program’s funding agreement with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).
This document focuses on the communities where SETuP was delivered during Tranche One – Areyonga, Amunturangu (Mt Liebig), Arlparra, Kaltukatjara (Docker River), Kintore, Lajamanu, Maningrida, Nyirripi (Waite Creek), Ramingining and Yuendumu.
Tranche One was the first component of SETuP’s overall medium contribution rollout that saw installation of nine megawatts (MW) of solar capacity integrated into 24 diesel power stations servicing remote Aboriginal communities throughout the Northern Territory.
