Royal Dutch Shell Plc will build its first large-scale solar farm as part of its plan to expand into power generation.
Shell, which has set itself a goal to become the world’s top electricity producer by 2030, expects to complete the plant in Queensland, Australia, early next year. The facility will indirectly supply the company’s QGC liquefied natural gas export facility, reducing that project’s carbon footprint.
