Summary
Located in the Queensland Central Highlands region, the 126 MW dc Lilyvale solar farm is connected to the national power grid, generating enough power to supply a population equivalent to 45,000 homes while avoiding the emission of 175,000 tons of CO2 per year.
This is the second large-scale solar installation of FRV in Queensland. FRV signed a PPA with Ergon Energy Retail for the full plant capacity in January 2017. The project was financed in September 2017 with a group of banks comprising the Banking Group of Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), the Bank of Tokyo and Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd (MUFG) and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC).
