\"Longreach<\/p>\n

Canadian Solar’s $29 million Longreach Solar Farm project had its official inauguration yesterday. The 15MW AC (17.472 MWp DC) clean power station is being progressively commissioned and is currently operating at 50% capacity.<\/p>\n

The facility is located near Longreach in Central West Queensland, which is approximately 700 km west of Rockhampton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Consisting of 54,600 x 320 watt Canadian Solar panels<\/a>, the project also utilises a single-axis tracking system. Canadian Solar expects output from the facility during its first year to be approximately 39.1 gigawatt-hours of electricity.<\/p>\n

Longreach Solar Farm is a beneficiary of the Queensland Government’s Solar150 program, which providing long-term revenue certainty by providing projects with a 20-year revenue guarantee. This also assists developers in accessing favourable financing arrangements, resulting in lower-cost projects.<\/p>\n

Other projects under the Solar150 program are Darling Downs<\/a>, Whitsunday, Kidston, Oakey and Collinsville solar farms.<\/p>\n

Longreach Solar Farm was also a beneficiary of funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), which kicked in $1.3 million.<\/p>\n

Member for Bancroft Chris Whiting, representing Energy Minister Dr Anthony Lynham at the inauguration event, said<\/a> this project will be followed by the initial 25-megawatt stage of Canadian Solar\u2019s 80-megawatt Oakey Solar Farm<\/a>, due to be operational and grid connected by September this year.<\/p>\n

There’s been a flurry of large scale solar news from Queensland over the last week.<\/p>\n

Last Thursday, the Queensland Government announced<\/a> the 130 megawatt (MW) Clare Solar Farm<\/a> near Ayr, the largest operating PV facility in the state, had started supplying electricity to the grid and represented another significant step towards the state’s 50% renewables by 2030 goal.<\/p>\n

“We have 890MW of renewables flowing into the grid already, much of it from Queenslanders who have embraced rooftop solar panels,” said Dr\u00a0 Lynham1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also announced last week was Powerlink and Pacific Hydro finalising a connection agreement for the first stage of Haughton Solar Farm<\/a>. Initially to be 100MWac capacity, Pacific Hydro has planning approval to build out to 500MWac.<\/p>\n

Clean Energy Council Chief Executive Kane Thornton said<\/a> last week 20 large-scale solar projects were either under construction, would soon commence or had already been completed in the state this year and that investments in Queensland large-scale solar currently make up more than half of total investment value across Australia.<\/p>\n

As well as committed projects, there’s some very large solar PV facilities in the pipeline for the state, including a 1,500 megawatt solar farm<\/a> proposed for east of Harlin in south-east Queensland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
