A new 'big; Australian landmark takes shape near Broken Hill


J

ust off the Barrier Highway, a new "big" Australian landmark is on the cusp of completion with the installation of the final solar panel at the Broken Hill Solar Plant.

ARENA, AGL and First Solar today joined NSW Minister for Industry, Resources and Energy, the Hon Anthony Roberts MP and NSW Minister for Environment and Heritage, the Hon Mark Speakman on site to see the last of 677,760 solar panels installed.

Acting ARENA CEO Ian Kay congratulated AGL and First Solar on the milestone.

“There is a real sense of momentum driving large-scale solar in Australia today. The Broken Hill and Nyngan solar plants are already supplying power to Australian homes and we now have $350 million available through ARENA and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, which will further accelerate growth in the sector,” Mr Kay said.
