The Federal Government has granted Spark Solar's $60 million photovoltaic manufacturing plant major project facilitation status. The announcement comes three months after BP said it would close down its solar panel factory. According to Spark Solar's Michelle McCann, 'the most successful PV companies in the world are not large oil conglomerates that do solar on the side.' In announcing the project's status, Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese said the Federal Government was supporting the move to a low-carbon economy.
