Walla Walla Solar Farm

We power the
future, now

Walla Walla Solar Farm is an approved solar development that will increase the amount of clean energy available to customers in NSW and Victoria.

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.

Key Benefits

Lightning Bolt Icon

Powering the Community

The solar farm has a 300-megawatt (MWac) capacity of clean, renewable energy – enough to power approx. 90,000 NSW homes.

Leaf Icon

Reduce Emissions

If realised, the solar farm will remove 520,000 tonnes of CO2 per year

Worker Builder Icon

Contribute to the Community

The solar farm will contribute more than $2.7 million to the local community, by providing a Development Contribution to a Greater Hume Council Community Fund.

Walla Walla Solar Farm uses state-of-the-art technology, allowing panels to track the sun

Clouds With Storm

The solar farm consists of approx. 700,000 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.

Solar Panel Icon

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.

Ecology Environment Nature Icon

The solar farm is expected to generate for up to 30 years since the completion of the construction.

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

Sun Icon

Excellent solar irradiation

Abundant sunlight and favourable weather conditions to produce reliable and affordable green energy

Leaves Icon

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

Wheat Icon

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

Ground Plan Icon

Level terrain

The land is largely flat, reducing visual impacts and allowing for cost effective construction

Lightning Bolt Icon

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

Truck Icon

Excellent Transport Links

The site is well connected to the State Road network

Walla Walla Solar Farm

Location

Located on private land approximately 4 kilometres Northeast of Walla Walla and approximately 40 kilometres north of Albury in NSW.

Project Status

Operational Since Q2 2025.

Community Solar Field

Community Benefits

The project would invest over $2.7 million directly in community benefits over the life of the project.
