About Ticoba Solar Farm
Ticoba Solar Farm is a proposed 484-megawatt project to be located 33 kilometres west of Mundubbera in Central Queensland, in the North Burnett Shire. Approximately 750 000 solar photovoltaic panels will be hosted on an operational property and co-exist with agricultural practices. The area was chosen for its high solar resource, its proximity to existing transmission lines and its low impact on environmental and social values. The project has the potential to produce enough electricity to power around 260,000 homes.
