Victoria to get its first large-scale solar plants

The Moree solar farm in NSW uses similar
technology to the planned Victorian plants. 

After years of unfulfilled promises, Victoria is on the cusp of getting its first large-scale solar power stations. 

Three farms in the state's northwest are promised to be operating by the start of next year.

Australian company Overland Sun Farming plans to start work in April on separate fields of solar photovoltaic panels at Yatpool, Iraak and Wemen, creating about 200 construction jobs.
