The Batchelor 1 Solar Farm is a 12.5MWdc project located near Batchelor, Northern Territory.
Developed by Tetris Energy, and purchased by ENI, this project was the first of 3 projects in the portfolio constructed for BSR Energy.
Tranex Power was awarded the project by BSR Energy, due to our extensive experience with the Nextracker system and our track record of constructing projects in remote locations. The project was completed safely and well ahead of schedule.
The mechanical scope included 4787 piles, 356 Nextracker single-axis trackersand 28,756 PV modules.
The Batchelor One Farm will generate approximately 53,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of clean, renewable electricity into the national power grid each year, thereby making a major contribution to Australia’s greenhouse gas reductions. This reduction will be equivalent to taking either 14,700 cars off the road or planting 11,900 trees, producing enough electricity to power approximately 11,500 homes with renewable energy.
Delivered during the height of COVID, the project required extensive engagement with the local Aboriginal community and a delivery model that could function effectively in a remote setting. Through Tranex Power’s Indigenous Engagement Plan, we supported local employment pathways, bringing Aboriginal workers onto the project - many of whom remain part of the Tranex team today. By leveraging local labour, targeted training, and clear communication, we strengthened capability on the ground while reducing logistical pressure during a challenging period.
Off the back of our strong performance at Batchelor 1, the client engaged TranexPower for two additional projects in the region. Each was delivered in close collaboration with the client, reinforcing our reputation for partnership-driven delivery and consistent execution in remote environments.
