West Wyalong solar farm
Our West Wyalong solar farm is a 107 MWdc project covering approximately 280 hectares of land at 228-230 Blands Lane, Wyalong, NSW 2671.
Snowy Hydro has committed to purchasing two-thirds of the power generated from the solar project through a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA). Under this arrangement, Snowy Hydro will supply 23,000 MWh of renewable energy annually to bp, meeting the power requirements of 88 service stations throughout the state of New South Wales.
Construction on the site is now complete, and the solar project has been fully commissioned and is operating at full capacity.
