Solar and battery system- Rio Tinto’s Weipa power network

AEP Elical provided technical support to implement a new solar and battery system, including integrating the new system into the legacy power system and oversight of the various design components of the project. The new solar farm and battery storage complements existing 1.6MW solar farm at Weipa. The combined 4MW solar capacity and 4MW/4MWh battery will provide about 11 gigawatt hours of energy annually.
