Goorambat Solar Farm - South Energy

5/12/2018

0 Comments

 
REB members recently met representatives of South Energy to discuss the proposed Goorambat Solar Farm, expected to have an estimated network capacity of up to 66 megawatts, powering approximately 24,300 households with electricity through the production of clean energy. 

An information session in which South Energy shared their vision for the Goorambat Solar Farm project was  held on Thursday 29 November at the Goorambat Town Hall, providing an opportunity for local opinions and ideas to be heard by the project.  

Information about the project provided to the Benalla Ensign published on Wednesday 21 November included the following
  • the farm, spanning 130 hectares, is to be located 430 metres south east of Goorambat  township
  • the topography  & cleared area of the site ensure optimal exposure to solar resources
  • the project will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 143,000 tonnes a year
Economic benefits of the project include
  • the creation of 250 jobs (direct and indirect) during the construction period with up to 3 jobs required for operation and maintenance of the solar farm on a longer term/permanent basis
  • opportunities for local businesses to be engaged during the project 
  • diversification and strengthening of the local economy

South Energy, a renewable energy developer specialising in delivering utility scale solar farms, will  lodge the planning application for the Goorambat project with Benalla Rural City Council shortly.  

More information is available at https://www.goorambatsolar.com.au.  If you have queries about the project,  contact Jo Barnett:  Joanna.Barnett@aecom.com.
