Global Power Generation Australia (GPG), a subsidiary of Spanish energy company Naturgy, is seeking federal government approval for a 290 MW solar farm and 180 MW / 360 MWh battery energy storage system in Queensland's Fraser Coast region.
The proposed hybrid project will be located on a 555-hectare site near Brooweena, approximately 47 km southwest of Maryborough, currently used for agricultural purposes.
The facility is expected to generate power equivalent to the annual consumption of 167,000 homes and avoid 656,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.
