A 350MWdc solar farm project and battery energy storage system (BESS)<\/h2>\n

Our Lower Wonga Solar Farm project is a permitted project which consists of an approximately 350MWdc solar farm and large battery energy storage system (BESS), located next to the Woolooga Powerlink Substation at Wide Bay Highway, Lower Wonga.<\/p>\n

The solar project received development approval from the Gympie Regional Council in 2017. Lightsource bp became the developer of the project in 2023 and and has recently received approval for a minor change to the permit. This solar project is adjacent to our existing Woolooga Solar Farm and will be developed over approximately 600 hectares.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
