SA powers ahead with solar

The state that can boast the world's biggest lithium-ion battery is set to now have one of the world’s largest solar power projects, after the Solar River Project was given the go-ahead in South Australia.

The project, which has the support of the South Australian Government and the Ngadjuri Nation Aboriginal Corporation, aims to supply 90,000 homes with affordable, reliable solar energy.

Stage 1 of the project will see the first electricity generated in late 2019.
