Circular PV Alliance (CPVA) is proud to announce ACEN Australia has joined CPVA as an Industry Member. This outstanding addition to CPVA’s member base highlights the increasing interest by industry stakeholders and solar energy project developers in achieving a sustainable, circular economy for the Australian solar energy sector.
“Having ACEN Australia on board as a CPVA Industry Member shows that the industry is more than ever recognising the importance of circularity in project practices and there are large-scale project developers committed to leading the way,” says Megan Jones, Co-Founder and Director at CPVA. “ACEN Australia’s membership with CPVA and the support for our work will expedite bringing the circular PV economy to life.”
“ACEN Australia looks to deliver and operate our renewable energy projects in an environmentally sensitive and forward-thinking manner,” says David Pollington, Managing Director, ACEN Australia. “We currently operate one of Australia’s largest solar projects – New England Solar, will shortly complete construction on Stubbo Solar in Central West NSW, and have recently received approval for Birriwa Solar, also in Central West NSW. This considerable portfolio of solar projects makes it even more important that we partner with CPVA to lead the transition to more sustainability in the PV sector.”
