The Lower Wonga Solar Farm is a proposed photovoltaic power station, located in the rural locality of Lower Wonga, Gympie Region, Queensland, Australia. If the station is completed to its final configuration of 3 million solar panels capable of powering about 315,000 homes, it would become Australia's largest solar power station.[1][2][3][4]

Location

[edit | edit source]

The Lower Wonga Solar Farm would be located on previously cleared lands used for grazing,[3] on the corner of the Wide Bay Highway and Gympie Woolooga Road, Lower Wonga, Queensland. The farm site is also located next to the Woolooga Substation and transmission lines, providing a cheap and easy point to distribute power into the grid.
