Committed to deliver local and regional economic development through its projects, Neoen is seeking to engage with businesses across Benalla region and the State of Victoria to identify potential suppliers for goods and services related to the construction and operation of Goorambat East Solar Farm.
First work packages are open to expressions of interest to enable Neoen in identifying local suppliers for the project, in particular suppliers who address Victoria’s social and sustainable procurement objectives.
