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 is approved for a solar farm with a generation capacity of up to 500 MW (435 MWac) and a long-duration Lithium-iron phosphate battery energy storage system (BESS) with a power capacity of up to 475 MW. It is due to be built in stages, with construction of the first stage consisting of a 200 MW AC solar farm and 275 MW / 2,200 MWh BESS to commence in 2026.

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