Singapore's Metis Energizes Australian Renewable Energy with the Launch of Gunsynd Solar

Metis Energy, based in Singapore, has received approval to make its first significant contribution to Australia's renewable energy market. They have just signed contracts to begin construction on their massive Gunsynd solar project, which will have a capacity of 111 MW (dc) and will shine brightly in sunny southern Queensland.

The Gunsynd solar project, located near Goondiwindi, is only the beginning of Metis Energy's ambitious plans for the Australian terrain. They're not stopping there; their next target is the Bendemeer renewable energy hub in New South Wales' New England region.

Around 100 dedicated Australians are expected to find work on this project during its build-up phase, which is being led by PLC Solar. When it is finished, the area should be illuminated by 2025. And how did they manage to pull it off? They have the resources necessary to make a big impact on the Australian energy industry thanks to financial support from companies like Siemens Financial Services, DBS, and SMBS.

Tang Kin Fei, Metis Energy's Executive Chairman and interim CEO, expressed his delight, saying, "The Gunsynd Solar Farm project will serve as the cornerstone of Metis Energy's expanding Australian portfolio. The experience gained during its execution will be useful as the Metis Energy team prepares to take on the Bendemeer Renewable Energy Hub Projects and future renewable energy projects in Australia."

However, this is not Metis Energy's first rodeo in the world of energy. They just sold their stake in an Indonesian thermal energy company and have already made headlines with what they claim is Vietnam's largest commercial rooftop project.

With their $1.2 billion Bendemeer renewable energy hub project, which is expected to mix things up with a blend of wind (360 MW), solar (210 MW), and battery storage (200 MW, 400 MWh), all eyes are on the prize now. This hub, which is perfectly situated in the center of the New England renewable energy zone, promises to provide the area with sustainable power for many years to come.
