It should be interesting to see if CCE is able to fast track the construction of the Northam Project.  Their project is much smaller than the one at Cunderdin.

If only for the sake of publicity, it would be good to be able to claim to be the first in WA to have the first merchant project up and running.

It might also prompt them into adding battery storage much earlier than they had originally planned..

Whereas Sun Brilliance wants to turn their project into a tourist attraction, I would be much happier for CCE to concentrate their efforts on getting a state of the art project completed on time or ahead of schedule.

I would think the Centre of Excellence and the wind and wave farms at Albany will provide a far better attraction for tourists anyway.  

"The Cunderdin Solar Farm, which is sited on the outskirts of a WA town of the same name, will be built in two phases: the first a single-axis tracking array with a capacity of 85MW; the second, a further 43MW to make 128MW in total."

"Sun Brilliance has also floated plans to evolve the massive solar power station into a “beautiful complex” that will attract visits from tourists, schools, educators and businesses.

The planned visitor precinct, which the company has said is accounted for in the project’s budget, was to feature landscaped grounds, a function area, a retail outlet, an educational “discovery facility”, cleantech demonstrations, and a café/tea house."
