Show Notes

At around 600 acres the sprawling Nyngan Solar Farm was the largest in the southern hemisphere when completed only 4 years ago.

What’s it like to visit a solar farm of this size?

And, how have electricity generation costs come down since?

In this episode we head out to northern NSW and also check in with Darren Gladman at the Clean Energy Council for some statistics on how the cost of generation is plummeting.

We hope you’re enjoying our exploration of new large scale solar projects around Australia.

If this is the first episode you’ve encountered, have a look at the others in the feed.
