Stage one of the project is a “proof-of-concept” commenced construction 2018, consisting of 30 MW of wind turbines, 20 MW of single axis tracking Solar Panels, and 2 MW of Li ion battery storage, costing $120 million to build and expected to be operational in 2020.[1]
Stage two is expected to be capable of producing 1200 MW of renewable energy, costing $2 Billion and hoped to commence construction before the end of the decade.[2]
