Nowingi

Located in the Loddon Mallee area of Victoria, approximately 45km south of Mildura, the Nowingi Solar Power Station development is on the traditional lands of the First Peoples of the Millewa-Mallee.

Currently in development phase, the project has the potential to generate up to 360 MWp of clean solar photovoltaic electricity and up to 300MW/2.4GWh of energy storage in the form of an integrated battery.

During peak construction, which will likely take up to 18 months, approximately 250 new full time jobs will be created.  In addition, the community can expect to benefit from a positive economic flow through to local supply chains, hotels, motels, cafes, pubs, accommodation, catering, tradespeople, tools and equipment suppliers.

Once in operation, the project will employ approximately 5 permanent positions to operate and maintain the solar farm.

The upcoming design process will consider the co-location on sheep grazing on the completed site, continuing the agricultural use of the land.
