Congupna solar farm proposal has been approved by the Minister for Planning Richard Wynne.
This will produce 68 MW of clean energy, create around 250 jobs and power approximately 22,600 homes. The Solar Energy Facilities-Design and Development Guidelines draft also released for comment that will help developers engage with communities, and minimize the environmental and social impacts of their proposals.
The project will be built on non-irrigated agricultural land and drive around $38 million in capital expenditure.
The Labor Government continues to drive investment in clean, affordable energy projects and will focus the development of large solar farm projects across the state.
