A quick note today to provide the following chart from NEM-Review v6 to illustrate that the 10MW solar component of the Gullen Range started operation on 14th September, augmenting the wind-powered output for the pre-existing station. The following chart starts 1st September and highlights the difference in output cycles for wind and solar on the same site, albeit with solar a much small installed capacity:
Just one of an escalating number of developments unfolding in this broader energy transition.

The growth of Large Solar in the NEM has been phenomenal, and a sign that things are changing quickly in the Australian energy industry. The chart attached is the maximum output of each region from Large Solar installations on a…
Following on from the article posted on the day, here’s a focused look at what can be seen in (‘next day’ public) data for Yarranlea Solar Farm on Friday 1st May 2020 – a day that saw negative prices through many half-hour trading periods in Queensland, and Large Solar farms cycling as a result.
Seeking indications of possible performance at solar sites announced in the CIS tender of 2024, we inspect statistics of nearby solar farms using the GSD2024.
Analysis compiled to explore what the impact was of the unusual weather pattern (extensive cloud cover and cold temperatures) seen across a large part of Queensland on Saturday 23rd May 2020.
