Strontian Solar Farm
The Strontian Solar Farm and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a renewable energy generation and storage project located in Narrandera, New South Wales, Australia.
The project is designed to contribute to the region’s clean energy supply by delivering solar generation supported by battery energy storage. Once operational, it will support the transition to a cleaner, more reliable, and resilient energy network across New South Wales.
Community Engagement
Strontian Solar Farm is committed to open, respectful and ongoing engagement with the local community throughout planning, construction and operation. We recognise the importance of listening to local residents, landholders, businesses and community groups, and we aim to provide clear information about the project, its potential impacts and opportunities.
Community feedback plays an important role in shaping how the project is designed and delivered, and we encourage anyone with questions, concerns or suggestions to contact the project team at any time. We will continue to provide regular updates and offer opportunities for meetings and community information sessions as the project progresses.
Key Features:
Capacity
The project includes a 383 MWdc utility-scale solar photovoltaic array, with a 333 MW/ 2,664 MWh BESS.
Location
The project is located approximately 18 km south of Narrandera, NSW, across land currently used for cropping, with sheep grazing proposed beneath the panels after construction.
Grid Connection
The project will connect via existing 330kV transmission line crossing the project site, with access to this existing infrastructure as one of the reasons the site was selected.
Current Status and Timeline
The project is currently progressing through completion of its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and finalising the grid connection application with Transgrid. The project received Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) in October 2025, with EIS submission anticipated in the second half of 2026. Construction is targeted to commence in Q3 2027 and begin operation in Q4 2029.
