| Thiess-Silex solar consortium to build power station in Australia The consortium between Thiess, a market leader in critical infrastructure construction and utility services and Silex Systems Ltd, an ASX listed company with world-class expertise and capability in solar technology, today publicly confirmed its interest in constructing the nation's first solar photovoltaic (PV) power station as part of the Commonwealth's Solar Flagships Program. The announcement coincides with recent news that the NSW Government will contribute $120M in funding to the project. Thiess has already delivered large energy and renewable projects such as the Darajat Unit III 110MW Geothermal power station project and the Swanbank Waste Management Facility in Queensland, the second of its kind in the world to capture gas for electricity generation. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
