The finishing touches are being put on South Australia’s first solar farm built on a covered landfill, situated in Adelaide’s south.
The project has been constructed at a Southern Region Waste Resource Authority (SRWRA) site in Seaford Heights. SRWRA was established by the Cities of Onkaparinga, Marion and Holdfast Bay to provide and operate waste management services for the three Councils.
The collective capacity of the 1,780 solar panels has been put at 600 kilowatts. Gas from the old landfill is also being captured to produce electricity, with both systems exporting to the grid.
