SANJEEV Gupta’s $350 million Cultana solar farm, a 280 megawatt development in South Australia, has awarded an engineering procurement and construction contract to Chinese firm Shanghai Electric during a visit to China by the British billionaire, who told Australian newspapers it was a new step in often fraught Australia-China relations.
Our planned Next-Gen project will ignite a new industrial revolution in Australia. These projects are shining examples of GFG’s commitment to create a sustainable future for industry and build stronger local communities,” Mr Gupta said.
It is the second contract awarded to a Chinese company after Wuxi Suntech was contracted to supply 880,000 solar panels at the site.
