Muswellbrook Solar Farm

About the project

OX2 in partnership with Idemitsu Australia proposes to develop a large-scale solar photovoltaic generation facility and associated infrastructure to be known as the Muswellbrook Solar Farm. The project includes a 135MWac/2hr battery.

The site is located approximately 2.5km east of Muswellbrook, adjacent to the Muswellbrook Coal Mine, on land primarily owned by Idemitsu, the mine operator.

Coal mining operations at the Muswellbrook Coal Company site were completed at the beginning of 2023, after 115 years of operation.

This is an exciting opportunity to redevelop the site and generate post-mine investment and employment in the region.
