Location

The site covers approximately 900 hectares of private rural land currently. The choice of this location for the solar farm is driven by a combination of:

• Excellent solar irradiation
• Low level of environmental impact – the designated area has been previously cleared.
• Level terrain for cost effective construction
• Ideal location on the national electricity grid for exporting the solar farm’s electricity into the existing network.
• Excellent access to local and major roads

FRV is currently preparing technical, planning, heritage, and environmental assessments for the site. The project will be built on private land that will be leased from the landowners via a long-term lease agreement. The project has been designed to fit the available land and to maximize the facility’s energy generation capacity and energy yield.

Land zoning will not change as solar farms are a permissible use of land within this zone.

Additional lots are not being sought at this time. The project has been appropriately sized to match estimated electricity grid capacity in the local area.
