The area around Richmond Valley's Myrtle Creek is a great location for solar energy generation with an excellent solar resource and proximity to existing transmission infrastructure.

The project area is currently used for cattle grazing, and approximately 7 km east of Rappville and 25 km south of Casino in the Northern Rivers region of NSW.

The project involves a solar farm and a battery energy storage system (BESS) to support the electricity needs of NSW consumers and the state's energy network.

The state development approval is for a solar farm with a generation capacity of up to 500 megawatts (MW) and a BESS with a power capacity of up to 475 MW.

Input from interested community members and other stakeholders is welcome. Questions or comments can be sent to the project team via email.
