About the project

The proposed Meadow Creek Solar Farm is located around 27km south-east of Wangaratta.

The project is currently progressing through planning. We’re currently preparing detailed environmental assessments, and progressing project designs.

  • Up to 330MW of solar energy

  • Approximately 2km of above-ground transmission line

  • 250MW AC coupled Battery Energy Storage System.

Locating the solar farm near existing transmission infrastructure limits the amount of new transmission infrastructure that would need to be built.

What is a Battery Energy Storage System?

The Meadow Creek Solar Farm will host a 250MW AC coupled Battery Energy Storage System.  

 Battery Energy Storage Systems work by storing excess energy generated by renewable energy when there is low demand in the network. The energy is then released during high demand periods where it is needed most.  

 Battery storage helps to stabilise the electricity gird and intermittency of renewable energy and will be essential to shoring up renewable energy supply across the network.
