$71 mln Project: Hybrid Solar Battery and Crypto Mining Unite

Innovation in the energy sector continues, as Wang & Lee Group recently revealed participation in a $71 mln Queensland venture alongside NQ Marble. Its core objective is to deploy a hybrid solar system capable of supplying electricity and powering crypto-mining rigs. According to official sources, the planned construction area will exceed 25 square kilometers, with completion scheduled for late next year.

Preliminary calculations show that the system’s combined solar array output will surpass 40 MW during peak hours, while battery efficiency enables storing energy for up to six hours. Statistics indicate more than 70% of such hybrid farms in the region were funded through a mix of private investment and government incentives. Wang & Lee Group management highlights that this configuration not only delivers power to remote locations but also creates new possibilities for cost-effective digital asset extraction.

During the initial phase, the project is expected to generate at least 200 jobs, mostly in construction and maintenance. In the future, as the farm expands and potentially integrates hydrogen solutions, the number of positions could rise by an additional 30%. Forecasts suggest that electricity production from this development will positively influence the state’s overall energy balance.
