Some of the options
we are investigating for
community benefits:

solar farm storage
The funds would be allocated to
local community projects through a Community co-investment in We could provide grants through
competitive annual grants process. renewables is common overseas and approved installers to make rooftop

After a successful three-week trial at Parkes Solar
Farm in 2018, merino sheep are now being grazed
under the panels at all Neoen solar farms (Parkes,
Dubbo, Griffith, Coleambally, Numurkah).
Neoen are working with agricultural researchers to
build and share knowledge about optimising the
productivity of sheep grazing under panels.
“There are no issues with sheep-grazing co-existing
with solar farms. Providing you have the right breed of
merino or merino-cross and get stock numbers right,
I estimate that you can reach at least 80% of normal
stocking rates. Plus, in areas with a lot of sun the panels
provide plenty of shade for livestock. It’s an opportunity
and a win-win for farmers and renewable energy
producers.”
– Tom Warren
Host Landowner, Dubbo Solar Farm
There are numerous other international examples
of agriculture being successfully combined with
solar. Neoen are investigating a number of different
opportunities that could work in Australia.

FOR INDUSTRY
LAVERTON STEELWORKS
VICTORIA
Laverton Steelworks have agreed to take power from
Neoen's 128 MW Numurkah Solar Farm under a 15-year
deal. GFG Alliance’s Executive Chairman Sanjeev Gupta said
the deal would help lower energy costs at Laverton.
DEGRUSSA MINING
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
DeGrussa is the largest off-grid solar battery storage
project in Australia. It powers a gold and copper mine in
remote WA. Commissioned in June 2016, it provides a
solar and storage solution to the majority of the mine’s
daytime electricity requirements, offsetting up to 20% of
total diesel consumption annually.
NECTAR FARMS
VICTORIA
Bulgana Green Power Hub, consisting of 196 MW of wind
backed by a 20MW battery, is co-located with agri-business
Nectar Farms to provide secure and affordable energy.
Nectar Farms is using the latest in hydroponic glasshouse
and plant technology to create a 10 hectare state of the art
facility and over 130 local jobs.
