Creating value & opportunities through renewable energy
Glenellen Solar Farm is a proposed renewable energy project located 16km north of Albury in southern NSW.
Glenellen Solar Farm will play an important role in increasing competition in the energy sector and reducing the market reliance on fossil fuel generation.
The project consists of a large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) generation facility, including battery storage and associated infrastructure, with an estimated maximum capacity of up to 200MW and would provide enough energy to power over 83,000 average Australian homes a year.
The facility will also include battery storage, allowing energy to be stored and dispatched into the National Electricity Grid on demand.
