Description

A public viewing platform for the Nyngan Solar Plant, 3km from the Barrier Highway on unsealed road. About 1.35 million solar PV panels are soaking up the sun and converting it into energy here. Nyngan Solar Plant is one of two large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants delivered by AGL in 2015, jointly funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the NSW Government. The 102 MW solar plant in Nyngan, western New South Wales is expected to generate approximately 230,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of clean, renewable electricity each year. 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.
