The park will spread over 120 square kilometers – equivalent to nearly 24,000 football fields, or almost the entire Nacka municipality – and will consist of panels and batteries. In the next phase, a cable to Singapore is also planned, with the aim of exporting energy that can cover 15 percent of the city-state's entire needs.

In total, the park is expected to be able to generate enough electricity for three million households.

Australia is now one of the world's most active countries in building new solar and wind power. But much remains to be done in a planned green transition – renewable energy accounts for a third of the country's total electricity production, while polluting coal has almost half of the market, according to the latest available statistics for the full year 2022.
