Wellington solar<\/h2>\n

This project consists of a 200MWdc solar farm at Goolma Road, Wuuluman. Construction on this project commenced in December 2019.<\/p>\n

The solar farm is situated on 316 hectares of grazed agricultural land, which has predominantly been used for sheep and cattle grazing (pictured left).<\/p>\n

This solar farm is adjacent to the 400MWdc Wellington North solar project. Once operational, the combined installed capacity of both projects create a 600MWdc hub.<\/p>\n

This project was sold to Aula Energy in 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
