All 200,172 solar panels have now been mounted at European Energy Australia’s Winton North solar farm in Victoria’s northeast, with testing in progress prior to grid connection.
The Danish company verified that panel deployment was finished even after a rain-heavy winter season, and testing remains necessary before the site can start supplying renewable electricity to Victoria’s network.
The Winton North site sits roughly 22km southwest of Wangaratta, positioned between Glenrowan and Benalla, and spans 256 hectares.
Delivery of the project will occur in two stages. The solar component has a capacity of 131MW, with a 100MW/200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) to follow.
When the combined facility reaches full operation in 2027, it is projected to produce 227GWh of clean energy each year.
All Energy Contracting, headquartered in Melbourne, won the construction contract for Winton North in late 2025, providing a comprehensive electrical and trenching package. Ingeteam, a Spanish power electronics expert, was selected to provide inverters and control systems for the project, encompassing plug-and-play medium-voltage power stations and a hybrid power plant controller intended to assist with performance and power quality management at the grid interconnection point.
Connection to AusNet’s current transmission network at Glenrowan Terminal Station will be achieved through about 5km of electrical line, installed both above ground and below ground.
Winton North formed part of the solar developments underpinning Amazon‘s AU$20 billion (US$14.48 billion) pledge to grow data centre infrastructure throughout Australia using utility-scale solar power.
This panel installation achievement comes after a series of project advancements across European Energy’s wider Australian portfolio.
In March 2026, the company opened its 108MW Lancaster Solar Farm in northern Victoria, its first operational utility-scale project in the nation. Constructed across 172 hectares with roughly 170,000 solar modules, that facility delivers renewable energy to technology company Apple through a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA).
The opening took place alongside the Danish royal couple’s state visit to Australia, where European Energy additionally signed a memorandum of understanding with the Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal Corporation addressing workforce involvement and Indigenous business participation on upcoming renewable energy projects across Yorta Yorta territory in Victoria.
Construction has also been completed on European Energy’s 31MW Mulwala Solar Farm in adjacent New South Wales, which has now entered commissioning, with energisation anticipated shortly.
Registration of the project in the Australian Energy Market Operator’s (AEMO) Market Management System occurred in April 2026, and it is expected to produce about 66GWh per year under a long-term PPA with Zen Energy.
Lancaster and Mulwala both lie within 90 minutes of the Winton North location, and in June 2025 European Energy obtained a portfolio financing package surpassing AU$130 million from Westpac Banking Corporation and DZ Bank to fund construction of the two assets.
