Solar farm learnings: building a renewable energy UNE campus, CleanTech Futures Series #2

  • NOVA 122 Faulkner Street Armidale, NSW, 2350 Australia (map)

Since UNE installed the solar farm on Clarks Road, the New England Renewable Energy Zone has been announced - and has raised the prospect of our region being the largest 8 gigawatts powerhouse in NSW.

The solar farm project commenced in 2016. It is a cornerstone of UNE’s substantial commitment to renewable energy, but just one in a series of UNE sustainability projects.

Along the way to becoming a 100% ‘renewables’ campus, there are many learning opportunities (including around Cultural Heritage, the environment, and our community) – opportunities that are being embraced and woven into next steps.
