Jobs during peak constructionAbout the project
The Marulan Solar Farm will generate enough clean renewable energy to power the equivalent of approximately 56,000 average NSW homes.
The Marulan Solar Farm will have generation capacity of 152 MW (AC), with an associated Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) of 81 MW capacity, 162MWh energy storage.
NSW Department of Planning & Environment recently approved the development application, which can be found here https://www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/major-projects/projects/marulan-solar-farm.
The next step is to finalise the grid connection agreement with Essential Energy and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
RATCH Australia Corporation (RAC) will build, own, operate and maintain the asset as part of their broader Australian portfolio, with construction expected to start in 2025 and take up around 18 months.
The solar energy produced will be used to send clean, renewable power into the NSW electricity grid to serve the needs of both the local community and broader NSW, supporting the NSW government’s critical Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap.
The project team is committed to engagement through every stage of the project’s life cycle, ensuring the opportunity for local people and interested stakeholders to get in touch and share their views, questions and opinions.
