Monthly Project Report

Good afternoon, stakeholders. Here’s the September update on construction, performance, spending, and key risks for the Sunridge Solar Farm.

With all access roads and drainage channels finished, civil works have reached 92% completion. This progress has allowed installation crews to place 168,000 of the planned 200,000 photovoltaic panels. Meanwhile, the completed substation structure is ready for transformer installation to begin on September 21.

Initial testing in Block A produced 24 megawatts at an average conversion efficiency of 21.3%. Alongside this technical result, the project has reached 410,000 work hours without a lost-time incident. Spending currently stands at $84.6 million, equal to 68% of the approved budget.

A four-week inverter shipment delay may affect Block C commissioning. To reduce the impact, available units are being directed to Blocks A and B while a second electrical crew accelerates installation. Full panel installation remains scheduled for December 12, with grid testing planned for February.

The project remains within budget and aligned with its revised commissioning plan. The next stakeholder review will take place on October 18. Thanks for watching.
