Windorah Solar Farm

Queensland Government-owned Corporation, Ergon Energy, is investing $3.5 million in Queensland's first solar farm at Windorah, a remote town in Queensland's south-west. When complete, the town's existing diesel-fired power station and solar power station will be integrated to minimise the use of diesel generators. The project's goal is to power the town entirely by solar energy during peak sunshine hours in winter. Replacing diesel-generated electricity with solar power will lead to savings of up to 100 000 litres of diesel fuel and 300 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year, equivalent to seven million black balloons.
