'Solar boom' can be heard around Goulburn Valley

The solar boom can really be heard around the Goulburn Valley with a story in today’s Country News in the Shepparton News telling readers more about plans for major solar farms in the district.

The story in today's Country News.
Rodney Woods tells his readers of two new solar farm proposals at Glenrowan and near Cohuna.

“They further enhance northern Victoria’s status as a sun-drenched region,” he reports.

“The Glenrowan proposal by ENSO Pacific, if successful, will cost over $170 million and see 245 ha of private land replaced by 360 000 solar panels that will generate 120 MW.

“The second proposal, by Leeson Group, is set for Horfield (8km south of Cohuna).


“It will cost $45.5 million, cover 82 ha pop a 128 ha property (with the best retained for farming)  and will generate enough from 104 00 panels to power 8000 homes,” Woods reported.
