Overview
The Western Downs Green Power Hub is a large solar farm project currently under construction.
At a size of 460 MWp of installed solar panels, it is Australia’s largest operating solar farm. The site also holds up to 270 MW / 540 MWh battery energy storage potential.
The 270 MW / 540 MWh battery is located next to the solar farm and is currently under construction.
Solar
Solar farms are quiet, with the same solar panels you would place on your roof – there are just more of them.
Battery
Battery storage allows us to store the wind and solar energy and provide it to the grid whenever it’s needed.

Neoen has been contributing to Australia’s energy transition with 100% renewable energy since 2012.
With a balanced portfolio of wind, solar and big battery projects, we are aiming to achieve 10 GW by 2030. We own and operate all of the projects we build (rather than developing them to be sold) and as long-term neighbours we are committed to sharing the benefits with surrounding communities.
This dedication to community and environment has made us a renewable energy developer of choice in Australia.
