Information

Solar photovoltaic power plant. Owned by AGL. Nyngan Solar Plant is located on an agricultural property about 10 km west of the Nyngan township, sitting on about 250 hectares of flat, rural land to the north of the Barrier Highway. There is a good buffer from Nyngan and nearby residents.It's an ideal location. Nyngan receives strong and consistent solar radiation. Plus, it sits between the regional centre of Dubbo to the east and a number of mining loads at Cobar to the west – meaning that demand for electrical power is high. The existing Nyngan-Cobar 132 kV transmission line is just south of the site, allowing for relatively efficient connection into the electrical grid.The site runs 102MW of panels and is generates approx. 230,000 MWh of electricity per year. Follows the formed gravel road to the undercover viewing platform to see it for yourself. Accessible for large rigs.
