The Gove Solar Farm is a 5.26MWdc + 5.36MWdcutility scale solar project located on the Gove Peninsula in Northern Territory

The Amrun Solar Farm, located near Weipa in Far North Queensland, is a 12.44 MWdc (22.4 MWac) utility-scale installation supporting energy generation for the surrounding region. The project scope comprised piling, mechanical installation, and PV module installation, utilising Nextracker NX Horizontracking technology and 22,008 Canadian Solar CS6W-TOPBiHiKu6 modules.

Tranex Power was engaged by Sante Group to deliver the construction works, coordinating piling, tracker assembly, and module installation across the compact but logistically complex site. Operating in a remote location required precise planning around crew mobilisation, material handling, and sequencing tomaintain productivity and ensure alignment with programme, quality, and safetyrequirements.

Despite the geographic isolation and associated supply-chain constraints, structured execution and disciplined work-front management enabled efficient installation across all stages. The completed works provide reliable renewable generation capacity for the Amrun area, contributing to broader clean-energy objectives within Far North Queensland.

/ Solutions

Barged Materials due to Remote Site

Extensive planning was undertaken to ensure construction avoided the wet season, where access, productivity, and safety would have been severely compromised. Given the project’s isolation, all plant, equipment, and materials had to be barged in, requiring tightly coordinated logistics, accurate forecasting, and contingency planning for marine transport and equipment reliability. By sequencing works around seasonal constraints and managing a complex supply chain with precision, Tranex Power maintained programme certainty and ensured the project could be delivered efficiently despite its remote and weather-sensitive conditions.
