A 70MW solar and battery project proposed for Morwell in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley has won the unanimous support of the local council – and so far received no objections from the public, either – as it awaits a decision from the state planning department on whether it can go ahead.
The Morwell Solar Farm, which is being developed by ARP Australian Solar, proposes to install 70MW of solar and a between 5-30MW battery storage system (storage duration unspecified) in between the Latrobe Valley towns of Morwell and Churchill – the heart of Victoria’s coal country.
ARP last month submitted an application to build the solar and battery project on two parcels of land on either side of Tramway Road – a site ARP director George Hughes said had been chosen partly to “fill the void” left by decommissioned coal power stations.

A 70MW solar and battery project proposed to help fill the gap left by Victoria’s retiring coal-fired power stations has applied for development approval from the state government.
The Morwell Solar Farm, which is being developed by ARP Australian Solar, proposes to install 70MW of solar and a between 5-30MW battery storage system (storage duration unspecified) in between the Latrobe Valley towns of Morwell and Churchill – the heart of Victoria’s coal country.
The site proposed for the roughly $105 million project is comprised of two diagonally adjacent properties on either side of Tramway Road, just a stone’s throw from the site of the retired Hazelwood Power Station, which is being demolished by its owner, Engie.
