Warradarge Solar Farm and Battery Energy Storage System

Overview

The proposal is for the construction and operation of a renewable energy facility located within the existing Warradarge Wind Farm, 15 kilometres southeast of Eneabba, within the Shire of Coorow.

The proposal involves the construction and operation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) facility (up to 500 MW), Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) (up to 500 MW) and associated supporting infrastructure.

The proposal will connect to the South-West Interconnected System (SWIS) via the existing 330kV Warradarge Substation sited within the development envelope.

The proposal would include a total disturbance of up to 1,040 hectares. No clearing of native vegetation has been proposed as the proposal is located within the existing Warradarge Wind Farm on cleared agricultural land.
