On an annual basis, the Nyngan Solar Plant will produce enough electricity to meet the needs of approximately 42,000 average Australian homes.
Nyngan Solar Plant is one of two large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants delivered by AGL in 2015, jointly funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the NSW Government.
The 102 MW solar plant in Nyngan, western New South Wales generates approximately 230,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of renewable electricity each year.
Nyngan Solar Plant is located on an agricultural property about 10 km west of the Nyngan township, sitting on about 250 hectares of flat, rural land to the north of the Barrier Highway.
Nyngan receives strong and consistent solar radiation. Plus, it sits between the regional centre of Dubbo to the east and a number of mining loads at Cobar to the west – meaning that demand for electrical power is high. The existing Nyngan-Cobar 132 kV transmission line is just south of the site, allowing for relatively efficient connection into the electrical grid.
