Introduction
The South Australia Country Fire Service (CFS) has confirmed that a contractor was taken to hospital for treatment of burns after an inverter in a shipping container ignited at Epic Energy’s Mannum solar farm, causing an estimated AUD 250,000 ($167,170) of damages. Concerned residents want renewable energy companies to mitigate fire risks by increasing their on-site firefighting capability. The cause of a grass fire that started on one of Australia's largest solar farms remains a mystery. Fire forced the shutdown of the Wellington North Solar Farm in central western New South Wales at the weekend but officials expect the 400 MW facility to resume full operations “shortly.
