European Energy has signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Amazon Australia to deliver renewable electricity from three large-scale solar parks in Australia. The partnership includes the Mokoan Solar Park in Victoria, which is already operational, as well as two projects currently in the pre-construction procurement phase: Winton North Solar Park in Victoria and Bullyard Solar Park in Queensland.
The Mokoan Solar Park, located in the Hume region of northern Victoria, has already begun supplying electricity to the grid. With a capacity of 58 MW, it is expected to reduce carbon emissions by more than 60,000 tonnes per year and generate enough renewable electricity to power over 18,000 Australian homes.

Procurement is underway at Winton North Solar Park, near Glenrowan in northeast Victoria. The project will have a capacity of 130 MW and is expected to use more than 200,000 solar panels. In Queensland, the Bullyard Solar Park, located near Bundaberg, will add 125 MW and is also in the procurement phase.
Expanding presence in key solar markets
“This agreement shows that European Energy can deliver renewable energy projects across the globe to strategic partners,” said Catriona McLeod, Country Manager for Australia at European Energy.

The PPA forms part of European Energy’s broader strategy of partnering with organisations committed to the energy transition. The company combines global experience with local development to deliver renewable energy at scale.
European Energy is expanding its presence in Australia, working with local communities, governments and partners to support the country’s shift to renewable energy. (hcn)
