Brierly Basin Floating Solar Array

Warrnambool's Brierly Basin will soon host Australia’s largest floating solar array as part of our plan to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2030.

The $1.4 million project is expected to have a net-positive value of more than $500,000 by significantly reducing power costs and saving more than 600 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year.

More than 400 floating solar PV systems have been installed across the globe, but this will be the first of its type for the Australian water sector.
