Italian oil and gas giant ENI says it has completed the purchase of another two solar farms in Australia, part of a plan to build a global renewables portfolio of 1.6GW by 2022. ENI has bought – from Australian-based renewable energy developer Tetris Energy – the two relatively small Batchelor and Manton Dam solar farms near Darwin in the Northern Territory, which are both sized around 12.5MW. The solar farms will be completed next year. Tetris has also built the 5MW Mannum 1 solar farm in South Australia and is now developing the 25MW stage 2 at Mannum. It says it has a number of smaller solar farms in SA and another larger one in NSW.
