Location: 4km south-west of Glenrowan VIC
Timeframe: November 2022 to late 2023
Project background
AusNet was engaged by CIMIC Group company, Pacific Partnerships Pty Ltd, to connect the 125 megawatt (MW) Glenrowan Solar Farm to the electricity grid.
Completed in late 2023, the Glenrowan Solar Farm provides enough clean energy to power 45,000 homes each year.
What we did
AusNet designed, built, owns and operates the transmission assets for the solar farm.
This involved building approximately five kilometres of new 33kV grid connection assets from the solar farm to the Glenrowan Terminal Station and installing a new 120MVA transformer at the terminal station.
Long-term benefits
These works are enabling the solar farm to introduce more renewable energy to our electricity network.
