A joint venture (JV) between TotalEnergies and Eren Groupe has submitted a 2.7 GW+6 GWh solar-plus-storage project for environmental approval in Australia's Northern Territory (NT).
The Wak Wak Solar park, located southeast of Darwin in the Litchfield Local Government Area, features up to 2.7 GWp of solar PV capacity paired with a 6 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS).
Darwin H2 Project Nominee, acting as trustee for the Darwin H2 Hub Project Trust, is developing the facility on behalf of TE H2, a joint venture dedicated to gigawatt-scale multi-energy projects globally. TotalEnergies holds an 80% stake in the venture, with Eren Groupe holding the remaining 20%.
The project represents the first phase of what is intended to become the region's first solar-powered green hydrogen production and export operation.The solar PV power plant is designed to supply renewable energy to existing industries in the Greater Darwin Region and to power a planned green hydrogen production facility at the Middle Arm Precinct. Meanwhile, the broader Darwin H2 Hub aims to produce more than 80 kt/year of green hydrogen.
