Walla Walla Solar Farm
We power the
future, now
Walla Walla Solar Farm is an approved solar development that will increase the amount of clean energy available to customers in NSW and Victoria.
Welcome to
Walla Walla Solar Farm
The Walla Walla Solar Farm is a renewable energy project developed by FRV Services Australia (FRV). The project is currently in the operational phase.

Key Benefits
Powering the Community
The solar farm has a 300-megawatt (MWac) capacity of clean, renewable energy – enough to power approx. 90,000 NSW homes.
Reduce Emissions
If realised, the solar farm will remove 520,000 tonnes of CO2 per year
Contribute to the Community
The solar farm will contribute more than $2.7 million to the local community, by providing a Development Contribution to a Greater Hume Council Community Fund.
Walla Walla Solar Farm uses state-of-the-art technology, allowing panels to track the sun
The solar farm consists of approx. 700,000 solar panels installed across the 605-hectare site. The solar farm has a 300-megawatt (MWac) capacity of clean, renewable energy – enough to power approx. 90,000 NSW homes. The solar farm connects to the electricity network via the existing transmission line that runs parallel to Schneiders Road.
The solar Farm utilises state of the art solar photovoltaic panels mounted on a horizontal, single-axis tracking system that enable the panels to move with the sun. This technology operates in varying daylight conditions including low light and cloudy weather and is extremely efficient for generating clean electricity with minimal noise, water consumption or waste.
The solar farm is expected to generate for up to 30 years since the completion of the construction.
Site Selection
FRV considers that this location is suitable for the project due to
Additional land for development is not currently being sought, as the project has been designed to match the available network capacity in this area
Excellent solar irradiation
Abundant sunlight and favourable weather conditions to produce reliable and affordable green energy
Low level of environmental impact
The site has been largely cleared and disturbed by previous land uses, meaning the project will minimise impacts on native flora and fauna
Avoiding the best Agricultural Land
The site avoids strategic agricultural land and is currently used for grazing, which is planned to continue during operation of the solar farm
Level terrain
The land is largely flat, reducing visual impacts and allowing for cost effective construction
Proximity to the National Grid
The adjacent transmission line has capacity to export renewable energy into the network, and avoids the need for new overhead transmission lines
Excellent Transport Links
The site is well connected to the State Road network
Location
Located on private land approximately 4 kilometres Northeast of Walla Walla and approximately 40 kilometres north of Albury in NSW.
Project Status
Operational Since Q2 2025.
Community Benefits
The project would invest over $2.7 million directly in community benefits over the life of the project.
