Maules Creek Solar Farm
We power the
future, now
Experienced renewable energy developers, FRV, are developing a new source of sustainable, renewable energy near Narrabri, NSW.
Welcome to
Maules Creek Solar Farm
The Maules Creek Solar Farm is a proposed renewable energy project by FRV Services Australia (FRV). The project is currently in the development phase.

Key Benefits
Power the Community
Enough clean energy to power up to 40,000 homes and 4 hours of battery storage
Reduce Emissions
If realised, the solar farm will remove 194,000 tonnes of CO2 per year
Create Jobs
Up to 150 construction jobs and 5 ongoing local jobs after completion
Maules Creek Solar Farm will use state-of-the-art technology, allowing panels to track the sun
This technology is extremely efficient, operating in low light and cloudy weather to generate clean electricity with minimal noise, water consumption or waste.
The solar farm will use solar photovoltaic (PV) panels similar to those installed on homes, businesses, schools and hospitals throughout Australia. Once constructed, Maules Creek Solar Farm will generate clean energy for up to 40 years.
The panels are supported by driven piles that will create minimal disturbance to the land. In fact, most of FRV’s operational Australian solar farms support the grazing of sheep in-between solar panels, once the solar farm is operational.
Location
Located on private land in the Narrabri LGA (Kamilaroi Country), the Project will connect to the on-site 132 kV Transgrid transmission line
Planning Process
The project is currently in its very early stages, and stakeholder consultation is ongoing.
Community Benefits
The project would invest over $1.45 million directly in community benefits over the life of the project
