The Croydon Solar Farm is a proposed landmark renewable energy project in Lotus Creek in Queensland’s Isaac Region. The project will generate 750 MW of solar energy and deliver 500 MW (2,000 MWh) of battery storage, providing reliable, affordable and clean power for homes and businesses across Queensland. It will also create local jobs and drive long-term investment in the region.
The Croydon Solar Farm will also strengthen the power network in the Isaac Region by generating and storing energy and discharging in periods of high demand, helping maximise utilisation of the network. It will defer the need for expensive transmission upgrades and avoid an increase in network charges.
We are working with expert consultants to undertake studies that will help assess and mitigate any impacts and meet all regulatory and statutory requirements. Studies we are undertaking include cultural heritage, social impact, traffic impact, agricultural soil characteristics, fire and bushfire impact, flora and fauna impact, visual amenity and landscape characteristics, acoustic impacts to the surrounding area, and stormwater and drainage management.
