Glanmire Solar Farm

The Project

 

This website has been created to provide information to the wider community around Elgin Energy’s development of the Glanmire Solar Farm.

It is important to note that the project is evolving through detailed design and stakeholder consultation. We suggest that you revisit the website from time to time to check on developments or changes to the project.

The Glanmire Solar Farm Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was submitted in early November 2022 and is available online on the Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) web portal.

The Independent Planning Commission (IPC) of NSW granted consent to the development application for the solar farm, associated infrastructure and battery storage in late January 2024. All documentation on this case is available on their web portal. An important milestone was also reached in June 2024 when the 5.3.4a letter was received. The project now continues to work towards financial close.
