Goonumbla Solar Plant generates first Kwh of clean energy

June 13, 2020

Our 67.8MW ac Goonumbla Solar Plant in New South Wales, Australia, has started generating its first Kwh of clean energy and it is expected to reach full capacity during the coming months.

Once fully operational, the plant will produce approximately 195,000 MWh of clean energy per year. This power output is enough to supply energy to more than 45,000 Australian households and avoid the emission of around 140,000 tons of CO2 annually.

To date, FRV has developed and secured PPAs for a total of seven solar projects in Australia: Royalla (20 MW ac) in the Australian Capital Territory, Clare (100 MWac) and Lilyvale (100MW ac) in Queensland, Moree (56 MW ac), Goonumbla (68.7 MWac) and Sebastopol (90MWac) in New South Wales and Winton (85 MWac) in Victoria.

MOREE SOLAR FARM

Moree Solar Farm began operations in 2016 and was the first large-scale solar project in Australia to use a single-axis tracking system.

 

Lilyvale Solar Farm near Emerald, Queensland (100MW)

Financial close of the Lilyvale Solar Farm was achieved during September 2017 with operations expected to commence in 2018. The project will benefit from a PPA with Ergon Energy, the QLD-government owned retailer, part of the Energy Queensland group, who will purchase 100% of the electricity generated by the project.
