The project was acquired from ACEN Australia Pty Ltd, a notable renewable energy developer, owner and operator in Australia.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThe acquisition of Axedale underscores our commitment to developing innovative projects that blend renewable energy and storage, key elements for ensuring grid stability and advancing towards a cleaner, more efficient energy system. <\/em><em>We are proud to contribute to Australia&#8217;s renewable energy leadership.\u201d<\/em> stated Carlo Frigerio, CEO of FRV Australia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With this addition, FRV Australia further strengthens its market-leading position in the country, operating eight plants with a combined capacity of nearly 1GW and establishing itself as a key player in the transition to a sustainable future. The company is actively hybridizing its portfolio and expanding its battery energy storage capabilities, including the Terang and Gnarwarre projects, two large-scale battery energy storage systems in Victoria, currently in construction and early works stages, respectively. With hybrid developments like Axedale, that combine solar capacity with battery storage, FRV Australia continues to lead in delivering innovative renewable energy solutions in Victoria and across Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":120761,"template":"","tags":[],"newscategory":[149],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>FRV Australia Acquires Solar &amp; BESS Project | Abdul Latif Jameel\u00ae<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"FRV Australia acquires Axedale, a 190 MW hybrid solar and battery storage project supplying clean energy to 80,000 homes in Victoria annually.
