Mildura, Victoria, Australia, 11th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Cap Energy Group (Cap Capital) has partnered with Greater Globe to successfully complete Phase 1 of the landmark Mallee Sun Solar Farm, installing 125,000 advanced solar panels in Victoria’s Mallee region. This milestone marks the first of four phases, with a total of 500,000 panels to be installed upon full project completion.
Spanning 4,000 hectares near Mildura, the Mallee Sun Solar Farm will generate approximately 328.5 MW of electricity—enough to power more than 65,700 homes annually—and is expected to offset 262,800 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year.
Community-Focused Development
Greater Globe has committed to placing community at the heart of the project. The solar farm has created hundreds of construction jobs, with further employment opportunities anticipated once the facility is fully operational.
In parallel, Cap Energy Group (Cap Capital) is pledging 5% of all project proceeds to support charities across the UK. This funding will power green energy initiatives for nursing homes, homeless shelters, and public libraries, helping vulnerable communities benefit from sustainable energy solutions.
Building on Success
The Mallee Sun Solar Farm follows Greater Globe’s proven model of sustainable development, first demonstrated in its Coffee Bay Solar Farm in South Africa. That project began with 50,000 panels and grew to a 200,000-panel capacity, delivering both energy and social investment to the local community.
Executive Commentary
John Hetherington, CEO of Greater Globe, commented:
“The Mallee project reflects our mission to lead the world into a new era of clean, affordable, and sustainable energy. It builds on the incredible momentum of our Coffee Bay initiative in South Africa, proving that when you align vision, investment, and community, you create projects that change lives and landscapes. Our recent investments in Australia signal our confidence in its ambitious green energy goals and our commitment to being part of that journey.”
Driving Australia’s Green Energy Goals
Australia has set a firm course toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Large-scale projects such as the Mallee Sun Solar Farm are vital to meeting these targets. With integrated battery storage, the facility will ensure consistent energy supply during periods of low sunlight and peak demand, helping to stabilise the national grid and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
