"Two new solar powered stations will be built in regional WA, building on the Liberal-National Government’s commitment to renewable energy supplies. Energy Minister Peter Collier said the stations would be built at Marble Bar and Nullagine at a total cost of $27.7million. This will be funded largely by Horizon Power with a welcome $4.9million injection from the Commonwealth’s Renewable Remote Power Generation Program (RRPGP). Mr Collier said they would be the world’s first high penetration solar photovoltaic and diesel power stations. The projects will include 2,250 solar panels, with a total of 500 kilowatt solar photovoltaic tracking arrays, and will each operate in conjunction with diesel power stations."
