OVERVIEW
The 36 MW Griffith Solar Farm is one of the first solar farms constructed by Neoen in Australia.
SOLAR
Solar farms are quiet, with the same solar panels you would place on your roof – there are just more of them.
AGRISOLAR
Sheep graze peacefully under the solar panels to help keep the grass down while the panels also provide shade and protection.
LOCATION
The Griffith Solar Farm is located approximately 7km south-east of Griffith in New South Wales.
The Project connects to a 33kV transmission line via a 450m underground cable to TransGrid Yoolagi substation and consists of 12 SMA Inverters and has 112,320 solar modules on 210 hectares.
It’s roughly a 40 minute drive from another Neoen project, Coleambally Solar Farm.

2019 Energy Output
The Griffith Solar Farm has been operational since 16 April 2018. For 2019, its first full year of operations, the solar farm generated 71,646MWh. This outcome was mainly due to slightly higher solar resource than historical average used in models. The solar farm has...
Neoen produce affordable reliable electricity from natural renewable sources such as the sun and wind.
With 12 years’ experience behind us, our technologies are tried, tested and proven. Our South Australian Big Battery has been keeping the lights on in SA since 2017, and saved consumers over $116 million in 2019 alone !
We own and operate all of the projects we build (rather than developing them to be sold) and as long-term neighbours we are committed to sharing the benefits with surrounding communities.
This dedication to community and environment has made us a renewable energy developer of choice across Australia.
They’re very good community minded people.
