Economic growth June 1, 2024

Partnering to power Queensland’s future

Explore the Dugald River Solar Farm (DRSF), a testament to Economic Development Queensland’s (EDQ) dedication to renewable energy and regional development. Located in EDQ’s Mica Creek Industrial Precinct and led by APA Group, this remarkable project is supplying clean energy to the North West Minerals Province (NWMP) and setting a precedent for a sustainable future.

Dugald River Solar Farm is Australia’s largest remote-grid solar farm by megawatt capacity and its 184,000 panels cover an area 116 times the size of a football field. That’s a massive area dedicated to harnessing clean energy.

Dive into this case study to learn more about EDQ’s impactful work.
