THE owner of the Gunning Wind Farm, ACCIONA Energy, will take on the construction of the Moree Solar Farm following a competitive bidding process for the contract. The renewable energy developer owns wind farms in NSW, Victoria and South Australia, and has previously built solar farms overseas. Spokesman for the Moree Solar Farm consortium, Lane Crockett, said he was confident in ACCIONA Energy's ability to deliver the project to schedule and within budget. "They were preferred contractor for a while and became selected contractor just before the bid was submitted", Mr Crockett told the Moree Champion. Last week the consortium also confirmed in a press release that BP Solar had withdrawn from the project and the remaining partners Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) and Pacific Hydro would take up the minority equity stake previously held by BP.
