24MW

Our first Photovoltaic plant in Australia

Located 23 kilometers south of the capital Canberra, at the time of completion, the Royalla Solar Farm was once the largest photovoltaic plant in Australia with 20 MW rated capacity (24 MWp) and around 82,000 solar panels installed on 41 kilometers of fixed structures.

The Royalla PV plant was the first solar installation built by ACCIONA in Australia, acting as a contractor for the development company FRV.

The farm can generate clean energy equivalent to the consumption of around 4,500 homes in the area, avoiding the emission of some 37,000 metric tons of CO2 from coal-fired power stations per year.
