PROJECT UPDATE September 2018

This edition covers three new advancements in the development of the Aurora Solar Energy Project; SolarReserve's partnership with Heliostat SA, the execution of the land lease agreement and securing the native vegetation clearing permit.

SOLARRESERVE TEAMS WITH HELIOSTAT SA TO CREATE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN JOBS Heliostat SA and SolarReserve will partner in the development of plans and processes for the supply, fabrication and assembly of more than 12,800 of SolarReserve's proprietary SR96 heliostat assemblies for the Aurora Solar Energy Project which could create upwards of 200 jobs for South Australians.    LEARN MORE

PROJECT SITE SECURED AURORA SOLAR ENERGY PROJECT LAND LEASE AGREEMENT EXECUTED SolarReserve has signed an agreement with the South Australian Government to lease the proposed site for the Aurora Solar Energy Project. The Aurora project footprint, including the tower and heliostat field, will utilise approximately 800 of the 1,600 hectare site located 30kms north of Port Augusta, South Australia.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT STEP TOWARDS CONSTRUCTION NATIVE VEGETATION CLEARING PERMIT The South Australian Government has issued a native vegetation clearing permit for the Aurora Solar Energy Project. This allows SolarReserve to prepare the Aurora site for construction. As part of obtaining the permit, SolarReserve conducted extensive flora and fauna surveys and is working to mitigate environmental impacts as much as possible. A stringent environmental management plan will be implemented to minimise environmental impacts.

 COMMUNITY UPDATE SUPPORTING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY The SolarReserve team recently enjoyed participating in many of the local NAIDOC week events as well as the Port Augusta Cup. Along with being involved in many community events SolarReserve is committed to supporting the Port Augusta community, with sponsorships and donations of over $46,000 in the last twelve months.   For sponsorship and donation enquires please email aurora@solarreserve.com.au  READ MORE
