How the process works
The Solar 150 initiative is conducted in collaboration with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), to leverage the skills and resources of Queensland and the Commonwealth in supporting renewable energy projects.
Solar 150 provides financial support to project proponents that have participated in, and are successful under the ARENA large-scale solar PV – competitive round and are proposed for construction and operation in Queensland. We will support up to 150 MW of projects by way of a long term contract for difference.
