Australia’s federal government recognized the world’s largest solar farm project as strategically important for the country. According to PV-Magazine, the Australian government has awarded Major Project Status to Sun Cable’s proposed Australian-ASEAN Power Link (AAPL) recognizing the project’s potential to inject billions into the economy and create thousands of Australian jobs.
Some interesting facts about the project are listed in the following:
