\"Proposed<\/p>\n

A proposed solar farm on the outskirts of Tamworth in New South Wales that will feature battery storage will be discussed at Tamworth Regional Council’s meeting tonight.<\/p>\n

The proposed development involves the construction of a 9MW solar farm covering approximately 7.7 hectares of a site on Wallamore Road, Taminda.\u00a0 A total of 27,648 solar panels are proposed for the project. Also noted on a council document<\/a> are two combined inverter\/transformer stations and eight battery storage containers to host a combined storage capacity of 20 MWh.<\/p>\n

The clean power station will export to the mains grid via an existing Essential Energy 11kv substation feeder line located south of the development site and to a padmount substation to be located on an adjoining lot.<\/p>\n

The development application for the project was publicly exhibited from the middle of April to early May, with just one objection lodged – in relation to potential impacts of the development on the adjoining racecourse.<\/p>\n

The application is scheduled for determination by the Regional Planning Panel on July 24. The RPP will be making the call as this is an electricity generation project associated with a private developer with a capital investment value of more than $5 million. Tonight Council will vote on whether to make a submission to the RPP in relation to the application.<\/p>\n

Should the project get approval and proceed, it’s expected construction will take around 12 weeks.<\/p>\n

Other Solar Energy Activity In Tamworth<\/h2>\n

Last year we reported Tamworth Regional Council voted to proceed with 11 solar energy projects<\/a> in relation to its own assets, including a\u00a0 200kW and 50kW PV installation at Westdale Waste Water Treatment Plant. This rollout is part of Council’s Sustainability Strategy 2017-2021.<\/p>\n

Solar power<\/a> is also pretty popular in Tamworth<\/a> among residents and businesses.<\/p>\n

According to the latest available data from Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator<\/a>, there were more than 4,071 small scale solar systems installed in Tamworth’s postcode region (2340) with a collective capacity of around 20.4MW as at the end of May. That’s jumped up quite a bit since our last report in September, when 3,570 systems were installed for a collective capacity of 16.8MW.<\/p>\n

Figures from the Australian PV Institute (APVI<\/a>) indicate an estimated 17.9% of dwellings in the overall Tamworth Regional Council area had solar panels installed as at the end of March – a little under the NSW average of 19% . Commercial solar<\/a> installations\u00a0 in the 10kW-100kW range were pegged at 374 instances, and there were five installations over 100kW capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
