Project development will begin in 2018 and power evacuation from the project will start in 2019.</p>
<p>Once complete, the Wandoan South Solar Project will incorporate up to 3 million solar PV panels and have a generation output of approximately 1,800,000 MWh/year. The project will supply power equivalent to the annual needs of 255,000 homes, and save over 1. 7 million tons of carbon emissions annually.</p>
