Australia-based Jacana Energy, a government-owned electricity retailer has signed a 10-year contracts with Plenitude to buy 45 MW solar power from farms in Katherine, Batchelor, and Manton Dam. Katherine and Batchelor are already exporting electricity; Manton Dam is preparing to do so. The deal adds more renewable energy to the Northern Territory and helps lower system costs. While most customers won’t see a bill change, savings reduce government energy subsidies. This allows funds to be used for other priorities. Plenitude is finalising technical steps for full export. Both companies committed to ongoing cooperation to support the Territory’s energy mix.
