Australia's Newest Solar Park Energised in the Wimmera
Original: Spread across a Victorian grain belt famous for wheat and little else, 212,296 panels energized their first cable in September, and Australia's newest state energy park is the Wimmera's largest industrial object
A major new solar energy park in Victoria's Wimmera region delivered its first power to the grid in September. The project spans the state's grain belt, an area better known for wheat farming than heavy industry, with 212,296 solar panels making it the largest industrial installation in the region. It marks a significant step in Australia's push to expand renewable energy capacity across regional areas.
Why now: The energisation of a large renewable project in a traditionally agricultural region highlights the shift in regional land use and Australia's energy transition.
