Wooderson Solar Development Co has submitted a 450MW solar-plus-storage project in Queensland to Australia’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act, according to a report from PV Tech. The Wooderson Solar Farm, positioned approximately 40km southwest of Gladstone and 20km west of Calliope, is a joint venture between renewable energy developers RES Australia and Energy Estate through their Central Queensland Power Development Co partnership.
The development features a project area of 5,618 hectares across 14 land parcels, with the infrastructure footprint concentrated within approximately 1,849 hectares. The battery energy storage component could provide up to 3,600MWh of storage capacity in a DC-coupled configuration. Solar PV modules will be deployed on both fixed racks and single-axis tracking systems.
Construction activities are scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2028. Construction will take roughly 37 months, with operations expected to begin in the first quarter of 2031, following commissioning and reliability testing. The project will have an operational lifespan of 35 years.
The Wooderson submission joins an expanding pipeline of large-scale solar and storage projects undergoing federal environmental assessment across Australia. FRV recently submitted its 200MW solar-plus-storage development to the EPBC Act, while BNRG Leeson advanced its 440MWdc solar-plus-storage project in Victoria. Perhaps one of the most significant projects added to the EPBC Act in recent months is Sun Cable‘s submission for its 20GW Muckaty Solar Precinct.
