This Wellington North Solar Farm features a solar facility with an installed capacity of 425MWdc, positioned approximately 7km northeast of Wellington along Goolma Road and 50km southeast of Dubbo in the Orana area of NSW.
Authorised by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry, and Environment, its construction phase is currently in progress, generating job opportunities for over 400 people. The solar facility aligns with an existing 200MWdc solar installation in Wellington. Upon completion, both installations will collectively boast a total installed capacity of 625MWdc, in what has become known as the Wellington Solar Hub.
