Maddocks advises on successful bids for renewable energy projects
Maddocks has advised construction company PCL Constructors Pacific Rim Pty Ltd on its successful bid to build and maintain two new Australian solar farm projects.
PCL
secured the contracts to be the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)
and operations and maintenance provider (O&M) for the Woolooga and West Wyalong solar
farms. The Woolooga project, situated in Queensland, will have a capacity of
214 MWdc, while the West Wyalong project, in New South Wales, will have a
capacity of 107MWdc. Both projects are sponsored by Lightsource bp Australia.
These
projects in Australia form part of the growing number of solar assets under
construction by Canadian-based parent company PCL Construction, which includes
the Gunnedah Solar Farm in New South Wales.
The
Maddocks team on the matter was led by special counsel Sefton Warner, with
support from partners Andrew Pitney and Andrew Chapman, senior associate
Michael Copeland and lawyer Victoria Mellor.
Sefton
said it was satisfying to advise PCL Constructors Pacific Rim to achieve
financial close on these projects despite challenges in the current climate.
'Maddocks
is delighted to assist an experienced international EPC contractor expand their
renewable operations in Australia with these two new solar farm projects,
notwithstanding the recent challenges presented by the impact of COVID-19 on
the supply chain,' he said.
