Burroway
The Burroway solar farm is located north of Narromine and west of Dubbo, NSW, in the Central West & Orana Renewable Energy Zone, on traditional Wiradjuri country.
Currently in the early development phase, the project has the potential to accommodate up to 120MWp of clean solar photovoltaic electricity generation, and up to 100MW/400MWh of energy storage in the form of an integrated battery. Construction is anticipated in 2026/27.
At peak construction, the project will employ around 250 people full time, recruiting local trades, workers and businesses as much as possible. During the build, which will take approximately 18 months, the community can expect to benefit from the positive economic flow to local hospitality, retail and general business. Once complete, the project will employ 7 people full time
With the initial Scoping Report lodged with NSW Department of Planning in February 2023, the next stage of development will include submitting the Environmental Impact Statement (Planning Application) in March 2024.
