Global Power Generation, the international subsidiary of Spanish energy group Naturgy, has brought two utility-scale solar photovoltaic plants online in Australia, with a combined capacity of 360 megawatts. This information was reported by PV Tech.
The commissioning of these two projects raises Naturgy’s total installed capacity in Australia to 1.3 gigawatts.
The larger of the two facilities, named Glenellen, is a 260-megawatt solar PV plant situated in Greater Hume Shire, southern New South Wales, roughly two kilometres northeast of Jindera. The installation spans 300 hectares and contains nearly 373,000 solar modules. Naturgy acquired the project from Trinasolar in February 2024. The company stated that Glenellen is expected to produce approximately 450 gigawatt-hours of electricity each year. It is Naturgy’s largest solar project in Australia to date and was designed as an agrivoltaic facility, meaning it combines renewable energy generation with agricultural use.
The second plant, called Bundaberg, is a 96-megawatt project located in Queensland. It represents Naturgy’s first solar installation in that state and is forecast to generate around 200 gigawatt-hours annually.
Both projects have secured long-term power purchase agreements for their energy output, which provides revenue visibility over their operational lifetimes.
These commissioning announcements follow a period of active capacity growth for GPG in Australia. At the time of a 2.3 billion Australian dollar portfolio financing completed in December 2024, the company’s Australian portfolio consisted of eight operating assets. Those assets included six wind farms, a battery storage system in the Australian Capital Territory, and the Cunderdin solar-plus-storage hybrid project in Western Australia. With the addition of the two new plants, the total number of operating assets now stands at ten.
GPG has been active in Australia for more than fifteen years, building a portfolio that now includes wind, solar, and battery storage across multiple states. Its wind fleet comprises the 218-megawatt Ryan Corner and 180-megawatt Berrybank 1 in Victoria, along with Berrybank 2, Crookwell 2, Crookwell 3, and Hawkesdale.
As reported by PV Tech last year, GPG inaugurated the Cunderdin solar-plus-storage project in Western Australia, which was the first large-scale grid-connected hybrid solar and battery project in that state. It combines a 128-megawatt solar plant with a 55-megawatt, 220-megawatt-hour battery storage system supplied by Sungrow.
The Glenellen project had a lengthy approvals history. It was referred to the New South Wales Independent Planning Commission in late 2023 after more than 50 objections were received during the public exhibition phase.
