Australia's first large-scale solar project to be co-located with Gullen Range Wind Farm

Australia's renewable energy branch is about to wake up from its slumber with fresh ideas. To make large-scale solar farms more reliable and a lot cheaper they will be combined with already existing wind farms.

As a first project a 10 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant will be built adjacent to the existing Gullen Range Wind Farm near the Australian capitol of Canberra.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) is providing $9.9 million support for New Gullen Range Wind Farm Pty Ltd (NGRWF) to develop and construct the $26 million project.

ARENA CEO Ivor Frischknecht said solar and wind were complementary sources of renewable energy that produced power at different times of the day and year.

“Co-location provides more continuous energy generation, as wind farms tend to generate more energy overnight whilst solar only generates during the day. Gullen Wind Farm generates more power in winter and the new solar farm will generate more in summer,” Mr Frischknecht said.
