About the Solar Farm
On 21 September 2026 Whitehaven received approval to develop the Whitehaven Solar Farm Project, a solar photovoltaic electricity generation system to be located on Whitehaven-owned land adjacent to the existing Narrabri Mine, approximately 25 km south-east of Narrabri.
The Project will generate up to 26 MW of electricity, helping to reduce the Narrabri Mine’s reliance on electricity supplied from the grid.
The solar farm will operate as a behind-the-meter facility and will not connect to the electricity grid. Instead, it will supply electricity directly to the Narrabri Mine via the existing transmission infrastructure for the remainder of the mine’s operational life.
This renewable energy project supports Whitehaven’s efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions across its operations.
