The Maryvale Solar and Energy Storage Project is a proposed renewable energy facility located near the town of Maryvale, 12km North-West of Wellington, NSW. The Project will be able to export 172MW of power into the electricity network thanks to an installed capacity of approximately 240MWp of photovoltaics 'DC-coupled' with 409 MWh of energy storage.
Construction of the Project will consist of up to 400,000 PV panels installed on a single-axis tracker system in arrays. The Project will also install a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), consisting of approximately 122 'shipping container' style buildings housing batteries distributed across the site.
Major construction works will commence in July 2025 and will bring both direct and indirect benefits, including up to 360 jobs during the peak of the two-year construction period.
