Giant solar farm to officially open - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)


The doors to Australia's largest solar power farm, located in Mid-West Western Australia, will officially open this week.
All 150,000 of the farm's solar panels have been installed at the site in Greenough, south of Geraldton.

You can't find it on Google maps or other tools yet, so here's a map provided by the project on their website:


Producing electricity when it is needed most, during the day, the solar photovoltaic (PV) farm will displace 20,000 tonnes per year of greenhouse gas emissions, which is the equivalent of taking 4000 cars off the road.

Greenough River Solar Farm with its 10 MWp capacity is the first stage of a 40 MW solar farm that the joint venture hopes to install at this site.

Not much happening on TV news about this though. not in King Coal Country!
