00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:04.760 align:center position:25% size:50%
Greetings from Port Augusta, South Australia,

2
00:00:04.760 --> 00:00:07.000 align:center position:25% size:50%
the driest state and the driest continent on the planet.

3
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.280 align:center position:25% size:50%
Here at Bungala we specialise in kangaroos and sunlight.

4
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:11.800 align:center position:25% size:50%
My name is John Glamuzina.

5
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.560 align:center position:25% size:50%
I'm the Site Supervisor at Bungala Solar Farms at Port Augusta.

6
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:16.960 align:center position:25% size:50%
I've been here since 2019.

7
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.360 align:center position:25% size:50%
I like the job,
I like being in the power generation industry.

8
00:00:20.360 --> 00:00:24.360 align:center position:25% size:50%
At Bungala Solar Farms we have 
840,000 solar panels across both sites.

9
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:26.880 align:center position:25% size:50%
160 hectares of solar panels.

10
00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:31.120 align:center position:25% size:50%
We have 108 inverters, 220 megawatts of AC power.

11
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.920 align:center position:25% size:50%
This site can power over 113,000 South Australian homes.

12
00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:38.000 align:center position:25% size:50%
It's truly a significant generator for the state.

13
00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:42.200 align:center position:25% size:50%
My name is Sunny Rutherford and I'm the Head of Communications

14
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:46.640 align:center position:25% size:50%
and Institutional Affairs for Enel Green Power in Australia.

15
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.720 align:center position:25% size:50%
I'm based at Enel's Sydney office.

16
00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:53.840 align:center position:25% size:50%
I really enjoy my time here on site.

17
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.040 align:center position:25% size:50%
It's an absolutely beautiful area.

18
00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:00.560 align:center position:25% size:50%
Australia has the opportunity to be absolutely world

19
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.280 align:center position:25% size:50%
leading in terms of the global energy transition.

20
00:01:04.520 --> 00:01:07.000 align:center position:25% size:50%
This project really excites me

21
00:01:07.800 --> 00:01:11.520 align:center position:25% size:50%
because it's the energy transition underway in Australia.

22
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:14.360 align:center position:25% size:50%
My name is Ben Cattanach.

23
00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:19.480 align:center position:25% size:50%
My favorite thing about my job would have to be the working hours.

24
00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:24.160 align:center position:25% size:50%
It gives me time to go do things in the afternoon
because I start work so early in the morning.

25
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.520 align:center position:25% size:50%
I work so early because the sun rises early.

26
00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:29.880 align:center position:25% size:50%
It's good to see how the plant's going to perform.

27
00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:31.160 align:center position:25% size:50%
See if there's any issues.

28
00:01:31.160 --> 00:01:33.520 align:center position:25% size:50%
First thing in the morning, you can jump on them straightaway

29
00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:35.960 align:center position:25% size:50%
so you can get production kicked off 
and working well throughout the day.

30
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:39.520 align:center position:25% size:50%
Myself and my team all come from a power generation background.

31
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:43.320 align:center position:25% size:50%
We've all previously worked at the coal fired 
power station that was in Port Augusta.

32
00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:45.200 align:center position:25% size:50%
It was demolished in 2016.

33
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.240 align:center position:25% size:50%
I started my career in the energy generation sector back in 1986.

34
00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:52.480 align:center position:25% size:50%
I was an apprentice of the power station for 
the old Electricity Trust of South Australia.

35
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.480 align:center position:25% size:50%
Through that I worked in coal mines and coal 
fired power stations for a great deal of my life.

36
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.120 align:center position:25% size:50%
I've seen the introduction of the National Electricity Market

37
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.440 align:center position:25% size:50%
and the changing in power generation in Australia across the board,

38
00:02:03.440 --> 00:02:06.200 align:center position:25% size:50%
and now I'm part of that generation, part of the change.

39
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:07.600 align:center position:25% size:50%
Part of the renewable energy sector.

40
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.200 align:center position:25% size:50%
I've always had an affinity with solar energy.

41
00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:13.200 align:center position:25% size:50%
Going back to my high school days.

42
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:15.400 align:center position:25% size:50%
I was part of the World Solar Cycle Challenge.

43
00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:18.200 align:center position:25% size:50%
Not a lot of people get to transition from one type of industry

44
00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:19.560 align:center position:25% size:50%
to another within the same industry.

45
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.400 align:center position:25% size:50%
So still in energy, but creating clean energy

46
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.880 align:center position:25% size:50%
rather than the dirty stuff,

47
00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:26.880 align:center position:25% size:50%
makes you feel pretty proud at the end of the day.

48
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.160 align:center position:25% size:50%
So here on site, safety is our number one priority.

49
00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:33.600 align:center position:25% size:50%
We make sure that everyone onsite is coming to site

50
00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:35.720 align:center position:25% size:50%
and leaving site in the same condition.

51
00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:40.640 align:center position:25% size:50%
My name is Ge and I'm the operational efficiency solar engineer.

52
00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:43.400 align:center position:25% size:50%
What I do day to day is, I start with checking

53
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.280 align:center position:25% size:50%
the plant's KPIs, including the energy production

54
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.440 align:center position:25% size:50%
and the data availability, quality things.

55
00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:54.000 align:center position:25% size:50%
It's really nice to actually stand in here 
and see all the plants and power stations

56
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.680 align:center position:25% size:50%
I've been checking on monitoring systems every day.

57
00:02:57.320 --> 00:03:01.560 align:center position:25% size:50%
Bungala is one of the best plants in Enel globally,

58
00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:04.720 align:center position:25% size:50%
and we are always at high production,

59
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.200 align:center position:25% size:50%
low lost production rate and high data quality rate.

60
00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:10.600 align:center position:25% size:50%
So it is so far the best plant I've ever seen.

61
00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:14.000 align:center position:25% size:50%
Port Augusta is a great place for a solar farm.

62
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.520 align:center position:25% size:50%
It's almost always sunny, very hot in the summer.

63
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.720 align:center position:25% size:50%
Mild winters. Really lovely weather in the spring time.

64
00:03:19.720 --> 00:03:21.920 align:center position:25% size:50%
All bonuses for solar production.

65
00:03:22.880 --> 00:03:26.400 align:center position:25% size:50%
Here at Port Augusta we have an abundance
of power, an abundance of sunlight.

66
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.360 align:center position:25% size:50%
We need electrification of society

67
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.600 align:center position:25% size:50%
so we have somewhere to put electricity during the day.

68
00:03:30.600 --> 00:03:32.120 align:center position:25% size:50%
We generate primarily during the day.

69
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.160 align:center position:25% size:50%
And we need to store that either in vehicles

70
00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:37.080 align:center position:25% size:50%
or in houses and where it needs to go.

71
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.640 align:center position:25% size:50%
It's just good to see how

72
00:03:39.640 --> 00:03:41.600 align:center position:25% size:50%
we can have this balance

73
00:03:41.600 --> 00:03:44.920 align:center position:25% size:50%
between the local wildlife and also our Plant.

74
00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:46.400 align:center position:25% size:50%
and not interfere with each other

75
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.880 align:center position:25% size:50%
in any way that is impacting their life also.

76
00:03:50.200 --> 00:03:53.120 align:center position:25% size:50%
So I think it's all very good

77
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.040 align:center position:25% size:50%
not very good on the flies!

78
00:03:56.040 --> 00:03:57.920 align:center position:25% size:50%
I feel like crazy.

79
00:03:57.920 --> 00:03:59.280 align:center position:25% size:50%
I'm just like (swatting flies).

80
00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:03.520 align:center position:25% size:50%
Having come from a coal fired generator

81
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.600 align:center position:25% size:50%
to work in a solar farm, I've seen the change

82
00:04:06.600 --> 00:04:10.920 align:center position:25% size:50%
in decarbonising of the electricity sector
in South Australia and Australia in general.

83
00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:12.080 align:center position:25% size:50%
We've lived it.

84
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.520 align:center position:25% size:50%
Here at Bungala We're proud to be part of the Enel Group,

85
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.400 align:center position:25% size:50%
and one of the shining lights in Enel's fleet.
