The Glenellen Solar Farm is grid scale photovoltaic Agri-Solar project of 260 MWdc / 200MWac using approximately 380,000 single axis tracking solar panels, up to 5 m high, and up to 60 power conversion units (including inverters and transformers). Agri-Solar incorporates wider spacing and higher panels to facilitate grazing and limited cropping within the project footprint.
The Project is located in the Greater Hume Shire on rural land in the localities of Glenellen and Jindera, approximately 2km northeast of the town of Jindera and 16km north of the city of Albury. The Project footprint will occupy approximately 309 hectares (ha) of the 398 ha Project site. The site is confined to the south by Lindner Road, and along its western boundary by Ortlipp Road which would provide access to the site. Post construction, it is proposed that the balance of land that is not occupied by solar farm infrastructure, would continue to be used for agricultural purposes such as sheep grazing.
The power generated will be exported to the national electricity grid through the existing Transgrid 33/132kV Jindera substation.
