The proposed developer of a 10-megawatt solar power station in South Fremantle has withdrawn from the project, citing issues with the market and the development site, which previously housed landfill.
US-based company First Solar is a step closer to building a 10-megawatt power station in Fremantle, beating seven other hopefuls to meet the council's hopes for a large-scale solar farm at a former rubbish dump.
First Solar has awarded contracts to Perth-based construction company WBHO Civil for structural and electrical work at Australia's largest solar energy plant, near Nyngan in New South Wales.
