Welcome to Walla Walla Solar Farm The Walla Walla Solar Farm is a renewable energy project developed by FRV Services Australia (FRV). The project is currently in the operational phase. Site Selection Preliminary Investigations Prepare Development Application Planning Assessment Prepare for Construction Construction Operation Key Benefits Learn More Powering the Community The solar farm has a 300-megawatt (MWac) capacity of clean, renewable energy – enough to power approx. 90,000 NSW homes. Reduce Emissions Energy produced by the solar farm reduces up to 520,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. Contribute to the Community The solar farm is contributing over $2.7 million to the local community, under a Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA) with Greater Hume Shire Council. Walla Walla Solar Farm uses state-of-the-art technology, allowing panels to track the sun Learn More The solar farm consists of approx. 570,000 solar panels installed across the 605-hectare site. The solar farm has a 300-megawatt (MWac) capacity of clean, renewable energy – enough to power approx. 90,000 NSW homes. The solar farm connects to the electricity network via the existing transmission line that runs parallel to Schneiders Road. The solar Farm utilises state of the art solar photovoltaic panels mounted on a horizontal, single-axis tracking system that enable the panels to move with the sun. This technology operates in varying daylight conditions including low light and cloudy weather and is extremely efficient for generating clean electricity with minimal noise, water consumption or waste. The solar farm commenced operations in 2025, and is expected to operate for a period of at least 35 years. Learn More Site Selection FRV considers that this location is suitable for the project due to Additional land for development is not currently being sought, as the project has been designed to match the available network capacity in this area Excellent solar irradiation Abundant sunlight and favourable weather conditions to produce reliable and affordable green energy Low level of environmental impact The site has been largely cleared and disturbed by previous land uses, meaning the project will minimise impacts on native flora and fauna Avoiding the best Agricultural Land The site avoids strategic agricultural land and is currently used for grazing, which is planned to continue during operation of the solar farm Level terrain The land is largely flat, reducing visual impacts and allowing for cost effective construction Proximity to the National Grid The adjacent transmission line has capacity to export renewable energy into the network, and avoids the need for new overhead transmission lines Excellent Transport Links The site is well connected to the State Road network Learn More Location Located on private land approximately 4 kilometres Northeast of Walla Walla and approximately 40 kilometres north of Albury in NSW. Learn More Project Status Operational Since Q2 2025. Learn More Community Benefits The project is investing over $2.7 million directly in the local community over the life of the project.
