From Breakingviews - Aussie billionaires’ solar spat enters new phase
founder Andrew Forrest’s investment companies. Both were early investors in Sun Cable; their spat over its strategy plunged the firm into administration in January.
The prize is the fledgling firm’s permit to build a 20 gigawatt solar farm with up to 42 gigawatt hours of battery storage in Australia’s Northern Territory. Cannon-Brookes wants to stick to the original plan of sending most of the energy it produces to Singapore via an undersea cable. Forrest, who on Friday repeated that he had become “unconvinced of the commercial viability” of that plan, would prefer to export energy using green hydrogen and green ammonia. He’s backing out, he says, to concentrate on developing Squadron’s own 20GW of renewables projects.
That leaves Cannon-Brookes and new ally Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners in charge of finding the $20 billion or more needed to develop Sun Cable. Now the race is on to see which of the two men is first to flick the on switch.
