The decision allows the solar farm and battery energy storage system (BESS) for the Glorit Solar Farm to proceed, with more than 100 conditions in place. The site will span 283 hectares of a 300-hectare site and include the solar modules, batteries, ancillary equipment, including power conversion units or PCUs, and a 33 kV transmission line, and a new substation.
