🌞HARVEST THE SUN – GLADSTONE SOLAR FARM PROJECT REACHES MAJOR MILESTONE!🌞

Gladstone is closer to hosting one million solar panels with the independent Coordinator-General approving a development application for a 762-hectare solar farm in the city’s State Development Area (SDA), subject to conditions. Public consultation of the application was undertaken between 13 March and 4 April 2019.

Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning Cameron Dick said Acciona Energy’s proposed Aldoga solar farm will create up to 240 construction jobs and 10 ongoing jobs once operational. “At maximum capacity, the $400 million solar farm will generate around 250 megawatts of energy, which is enough to supply approximately 122,000 homes annually,” Mr Dick said.
