130MW Solar Farm
Tailem Bend Solar Farm is a 100MW solar photovoltaic generation station that feeds to the National Grid via the ElectraNet’s Transmission system. Over 350,000 solar panels feed into Inverter Stations with step up power transformers, interconnected via Ring Main Units (RMUs) across the solar farm reticulation system. The reticulation system feeds into 6 high voltage feeders across two Switchboards before feeding into the ElectraNet transmission substation at Tailem Bend.
