Ticoba Solar Farm

484 megawatts of solar power

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.

The project is projected to inject an estimated $100M+ into local and regional businesses, and deliver 450-600 construction jobs and 4-6 operational jobs locally.

In addition, community benefits funding of at least $1m over the life of the project will be used to deliver on local community priorities.   

The project will be assessed by North Burnett Regional Council through a Development Application process, which includes public consultation.  

From an early stage, we engage with landholders, neighbours, First Nations people, local government and other local stakeholders to engage and understand how project design can fit the local community. Key methods include community drop in sessions, newsletter updates, websites and regular meetings with key stakeholders. Project development includes a public consultation process, and we work to ensure that collaboration continues throughout all stages of our projects.  

It is proposed that the project connect to Powerlink’s existing Halys-Calvale 275kV transmission line.
