The Gove Solar Farm is a 5.26MWdc + 5.36MWdcutility scale solar project located on the Gove Peninsula in Northern Territory
Delivered across two adjacent sites (Gove 1 and Gove 2), the project involved piling, mechanical installation, and PV module installation, utilising NextPower (formally Nextracker) tracking technology and a combined 18,000+ Canadian Solar modules (9,396 at Site 1 and 9,576at Site 2).
Tranex Power was engaged by Santé Group to deliver the full construction scope, coordinating parallel work fronts for piling, tracker assembly, and module installation. The remote location required disciplined planning around logistics, transport, and crew scheduling to maintain programme alignment and ensure consistent productivity.
Execution efficiency, structured sequencing, and robust quality and safety management were critical in navigating the environmental and access constraints typical of the region. The completed installations provide reliable renewable generation capacity for the Gove Peninsula, supporting long-term energy transition objectives for the Northern Territory.
TranexPower delivered the project on a very remote site, supporting Rio Tinto’s objective to reduce diesel usage. Plant, equipment, and materials were barged in, requiring meticulous planning to manage logistics and potential machinery breakdowns. Early site visits helped de-risk the project, while a mine shutdown created a short window to complete the maximum amount of construction work. Through precise trade coordination, proactive sequencing, and agile problem-solving, Tranex Power not only met the compressed schedule but maximised efficiency and ensured the project delivered tangible operational and environmental benefits for the client.
