Elgin Energy's Shady Creek Solar Park Gets Green Light

• Elgin Energy secures approval for a 60-MW solar project with battery storage in Victoria, Australia, adding to its growing global portfolio of renewable energy projects.

Elgin Energy, a British solar and storage developer, has received approval to build a 60-MW solar project with a co-located battery energy storage system (BESS) in Victoria, Australia. The permit was granted by the state Department of Transport and Planning and the project will be located in the town of Yarragon. The solar farm will be built on a 107-hectare site currently used for agricultural activities and will be integrated with a 60-MW/120-MWh energy storage facility. It will be connected to the national grid through a nearby high-voltage transmission line.

This approval comes shortly after Elgin Energy received approval for its 60-MW Glanmire Solar Farm in New South Wales, which also includes a 120-MWh battery storage component. Elgin Energy has a global portfolio of close to 1 GW of ready-to-build solar PV and storage projects and a pipeline of approximately 14 GW across the UK, Ireland, and Australia.
