Another major solar farm in Queensland has joined the grid, with the 100MW Lilyvale plant – 50km north east of Emerald – beginning production late last week.
The Lilyvale solar farm is being developed by Spanish renewables developer FRV and has a long term power purchase agreement with state-owned retailer Ergon Energy for all of its output.
This graph below from NEM Review, the providers of our popular NEM-Watch widget, reveals the first few megawatts of capacity being injected into the grid. The solar farm, like all others, will now embark on a rigorous round of testing and various capacity levels before getting final approvals from the Australian Energy Market Operator.
Other undeveloped solar projects in its portfolio include the 100MW Chaff Mill solar project in South Australia, the Winton solar farm in Victoria, and the Baralaba solar project in Queensland.
