Gullen Solar Farm

The Gullen Solar Farm project is an operational solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant with an installed capacity of 10MW. The solar farm is co-located within the existing Gullen Range Wind Farm making Gullen Range the first large-scale co-located wind and solar farm in Australia. Locating the solar farm adjacent to the wind farm minimises required infrastructure (such as roads, power lines and telecommunications), meaning a reduction in environmental impact and project cost. Construction of the solar farm was supported by a grant from ARENA.

The solar farm consists of 42,000 solar panels and first generated electricity in 2017. It produces approximately 22,000 megawatt-hours of clean renewable energy each year, which is enough energy to supply approximately 3,100 NSW homes. The operating life of the solar farm will be 25 – 30 years.

BJCE Australia is proud to be a founding signatory of the Clean Energy Council’s Best Practice Charter for Renewable Energy Developments. The charter is a voluntary set of commitments to reflect our promise to develop and operate projects in a socially responsible way. The charter can be downloaded here.

News Item: 04/05/2026: Gullen Range Wind & Solar Farm honours Anzac Day at Grabben Gullen service

Gullen Range Wind & Solar Farm Site Manager Andrew Sinclair attended the 2026 Anzac Day service in Grabben Gullen, laying a wreath on behalf of the wind and solar farms to honour the service and sacrifice of Australian and New Zealand defence personnel.
The service provided an opportunity for the community to come together in reflection and remembrance. Andrew said it was a privilege to represent the wind and solar farms and to take part in an occasion that holds deep meaning for many local families.
“It’s important we pause to remember the courage and sacrifice of the Anzacs, and to acknowledge the service of today’s defence personnel,” Andrew said. “Laying a wreath on behalf of the wind and solar farms is a small way we can show our respect and support for the communities we’re part of.”
Gullen Range Wind & Solar Farm is proud to support local commemorations and to stand with the surrounding community on Anzac Day.
