Foresight has entered into a 50-50 joint partnership with Shell Energy Operations to acquire the development rights of a 370-megawatt renewables project in Western Australia from Lacour Energy and Goldwind International.
The Kondinin Energy Development project comprises various stages of development across wind, solar and battery-energy storage system (BESS) assets.
