Solar farm waits on one more approval

31/07/2025 by The Coonamble Times

Construction is creeping closer for Coonamble's first solar farm development.

Australian owned specialist renewable energy investment manager Birdwood Energy plans to build a facility with a single axis tracking system with approximately 13,888 solar panels and 11MWh (megawatt hours) of battery storage.

Birdwood Energy has a work authorisation deed in place with TfNSW to upgrade the intersection of the Castlereagh Highway . . .
