FAQs 6

Will a 500 MW solar farm be built in New South Wales?

Ark Energy has confirmed the development application for a 500 MW solar farm and 2,200 MWh battery energy storage system planned for northern New South Wales has been lodged with the state planning department.

Are large-scale solar power plants a good investment in Australia?

Large-scale solar (LSS) power plants are well suited and widely expanding in Australia. As a result, the cost of LSS power has also dropped dramatically in Australia. The Australian government intends to offset the loss of thermal and hydroelectric capacity by increasing renewable electricity generation.

How much electricity does a solar farm generate in Australia?

It generates up to 88MW of electricity to the National Electricity Market (NEM). It is funded by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and Hanwha Energy Australia, parent company of Nectr. Western Australia's first major large scale solar farm, the Greenough River Solar Farm, is at Walkaway, 70 km SE of Geraldton. It was opened in October 2012.

What is the largest solar PV array in Western Australia?

The largest rooftop solar PV array in Western Australia was completed in 2021 by Solgen and AGF Electrical at Ellenbrook city shopping centre, with a total generating capacity of 2.8 MW. The proposed Asian Renewable Energy Hub, combining solar and wind power, will generate up to 26 gigawatts of power to produce green hydrogen.

What is the future of solar energy in Australia?

Renewable energy capacity is expected to reach 69.9% by 2030, fueled primarily by solar PV projects. Solar PV's expansion in Australia is fueled by frequent renewable energy auctions and feed-in tariffs. In addition to government initiatives, each of the 8 provinces has its own solar PV growth programs.

How many solar PV projects are being built in Australia?

In 2019, 59 solar PV projects with a combined capacity of 2,881 MW were either under construction, constructed or due to start construction having reached financial closure. Solar accounted for 19.6% (or 46.7 TWh) of Australia's electrical energy production in the National Electricity Market and South West Interconnected System in 2024.
