Adam Pegg, Managing Director of Lightsource bp Australia and New Zealand says:
“Regional NSW is home to a skilled workforce and has access to the electrical infrastructure and low cost of doing business that makes investment attractive.
As part of our investments in the Wellington and West Wyalong Solar Farms, we have created hundreds of construction and operational jobs in the Central West and Riverina Murray regions of NSW. We are continuing to invest in regional NSW with our Wellington North Solar Farm development and have several other projects in the pipeline. These developments will bring further jobs, local business opportunities and associated economic benefits to regional communities.
The NSW Government’s Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap helps provide investment certainty that will allow us to develop further projects in regional NSW into the future.”
