The NSW Independent Planning Commission has approved the Dinawan Solar Farm, an 800 MW renewable energy project paired with 1,574 MWh of battery storage, marking a significant milestone for the broader Dinawan Energy Hub in the South West Renewable Energy Zone.
Developed by Spark Renewables, the project has undergone several years of planning and assessment, supported by extensive engagement with local communities, government bodies, and key stakeholders.
The Dinawan Energy Hub is expected to play a critical role in enhancing grid stability and ensuring long-term energy security in New South Wales, while also delivering regional economic benefits, including job creation and investment opportunities.
The approval of the solar component represents a major step forward for the overall project, with the proposed Dinawan Wind Farm still awaiting determination. Once completed, the integrated hub is set to contribute significantly to the state’s renewable energy capacity.
Spark Renewables acknowledged the contributions of project partners and stakeholders, including EMM Consulting Pty Limited and Murrumbidgee Council, as well as the local community, in advancing the project toward approval.
