Précis:The Australian government has given the Areva-led Solar Dawn project a six month reprieve, and has re-opened bidding for the PV portion of its national solar program.By Giles Parkinson in New South Wales
The Solar Dawn consortium proposing to build a 250MW solar thermal plant in south-west Queensland as part of Australia’s Solar Flagships program has won a six month extension to its contract after initially failing to gain finance for the project.
Solar Dawn is led by the French nuclear energy giant Areva, which is looking to deploy the Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector technology it bought from Ausra in 2010.
