BDAC Representatives accepting the Premier the Hon. Peter Malinauskas Award for the Yoorndoo Ilga Solar project, December 2022

Power Network Consulting congratulates BDAC on an historic achievement, the agreement with EPS Energy to facilitate the largest Solar Farm in the Eyre peninsula, South Australia. Power Network Consulting is proud to have supported BDAC in reaching agreement by providing electrical engineering advice to support decision-making and negotiations.

The award involved the work done by BDAC and their corporate partner EPS Energy to facilitate the new Solar Farm. This project covers almost 700Ha of land and is worth around AUD$300 Million, providing significant jobs locally and reducing energy costs to regional SA. This is the first time in SA that land has been handed back to First Nations People for a commercial purpose, making it a pioneering project in terms of future development.
