A Whyalla councillor says a $230 million solar thermal power plant proposed for the South Australian city could turn it into a hub for other solar technologies. Councillor Eddie Hughes says the project will bring opportunities for future investors, especially in the same industry. He says a working party has been established to deal with Wizard Power, which is using big dish technology for a trial power plant. "One of the other things that we've gently pushed at this stage is setting up Whyalla as a test bed for a range of solar technologies so that it can all be tested on the same climatic conditions," he said. "There might well be the opportunity for other industries to co-locate around a green energy source like this so that is something that is going to be seriously looked at."
