CIMIC Group company
UGL has been awarded contracts by

The project will generate revenue to UGL of approximately $170 million

power generation to the grid
expected in 2019.
CIMIC Group Chief Executive Officer Michael Wright said: “With our
growing expertise in delivering
renewable energy projects, CIMIC and UGL
are proud to be supporting the growth of the Australian renewable energy
market and delivering the Tailem Bend Solar Farm for Equis Energy.”
UGL Managing Director Jason Spears said: “The Tailem Bend Solar Farm
expands UGL’s national footprint – we now have a solar farm under
construction in every Australian mainland state – reaffirming our
position as the leading EPC contractor in the renewable energy sector.
We are very pleased to be partnering with Equis Energy to deliver this
South Australian
solar farm.”
UGL will undertake the engineering, procurement and construction of the
project, including the associated substation and, critically, will
