The development will consist of over 437,000 solar panels, generating enough power to supply 39,000 homes and covering more than 250 hectares.

The South Australian plant will be built for the investment consortium comprising Enel Green Power and Dutch Infrastructure.

The plant is due to connect to the grid by early 2019.
