Project Clean Wafers Pre-Feasibility Study

Summary

Australia faces a critical vulnerability in the global solar supply chain, with over 97% of solar wafer production concentrated in China. Project Clean Wafers aims to address this by establishing Australia's first large-scale silicon ingot pulling and wafer manufacturing facility near Townsville, Queensland. The initial pre-feasibility study has been successfully completed, indicating technical and commercial viability for a 2 GW facility, and the project is now advancing to the detailed feasibility and engineering design stage.
