About the Project
​
Robertstown Solar is an approved 500 MW (AC) utility scale solar photovoltaic and battery storage plant to integrate into the National Electricity Market through a 275 kV connection to ElectraNet’s Robertstown Substation in South Australia.
Robertstown Solar will meet approximately 1% of the Federal Government objective to achieve an additional 33 GW of electricity from renewable sources by 2020 under the Renewable Energy Target.
Robertstown Solar will have a minor and temporal physical disturbance footprint. Co-agricultural opportunities such as sheep grazing and apiculture will be assessed for co-existence and the land can be returned to its original condition, with infrastructure removed at the end of the Project’s 30 year life.
​
The project was on public exhibition from 23/01/2019 – 25/02/2019.
The Project Connection Application through ElectraNet, for connection to the South Australian electricity grid is progressing.
The Robertstown Solar project was granted development approval mid-2019.
