Sundrop Farms
Sundrop Farms is an Australian agribusiness which commenced its first hydroponic greenhouse production in South Australia in 2010. The greenhouse uses sea water for both cooling and desalination and was designed by London based company Seawater Greenhouse Ltd who have pioneered this approach for cooling and desalination since the early 90’s. As of 2015, Sundrop Farms is constructing a 20 ha solar-powered greenhouse facility near its original site, south of Port Augusta in South Australia. Sundrop Farms operations will be primarily powered by a new concentrated solar thermal power plant and seawater will be withdrawn from Spencer Gulf and desalinated to feed produce. The project was expected to generate around 100 jobs during the construction of the greenhouse facility (underway as at October 2015) and approximately 200 jobs once operational. In 2014, private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis invested $100 million in the company. The development has been supported by the Government of South Australia which has provided approximately $6 million in grant funding. A $150 million development contract was awarded to John Holland in 2014 to construct the expanded facility over an 18-24 month time-frame and the total project cost is an estimated $205 million. Sundrop Farms has entered a 10-year contract with Australian supermarket operator Coles which has committed to buying their produce and distributing it nationally. The company's founding chairman was David Travers.

Sundrop Farms' 20 ha expanded facility will utilise eSolar’s Solar Collector System and a Solar Receiver System from Aalborg CSP A/S. Once commissioned, the facility's concentrated solar thermal plant will have a generating capacity of 1.5 MW.
