Hepburn Energy is working towards a solar farm on the Leonards Hill site. Not only will our solar panels help our community transition but they’ll have a low social and ecological impact.
If this project goes ahead, the co-operative will almost double its generation capacity, adding 5MW (AC) of solar. This will be enough to offset an additional 1,800 homes, contributing to our shire-wide target for 100% renewables by 2025.
For more information read our Planning Permit in the Downloads section.
The solar farm will produce approximately 8,000MWh each year.
The solar farm will have a maximum capacity of 5MW AC or 7.44MW DC.
