China-based solar module manufacturer Risen Energy has started work on the 121 MW Yarranlea solar farm project in Queensland, Australia. As well as providing the modules, Yarranlea is Risen's first large-scale engineering, procurement and construction project Australia. The project, which will be located near Cairns, was approved by Queensland government regulators last month after a tender process that saw bids from three Chinese companies. The new solar park will be the first of several owner-operator schemes Risen Energy aims to develop in Australia.
