Cobbora Solar Farm
Pacific Partnerships has acquired the development rights for the 700MWac Cobbora Solar Farm and co-located large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) project in New South Wales which, when developed, will be one of the largest solar farms in Australia.
UGL will undertake early works, develop the project solution, and provide operation and maintenance services once completed.

Scope of Work
Project details
The project is located 55km east of Dubbo on mostly cleared grazing land. It is being designed with minimal long-term disruption to the land, and current productive sheep grazing is expected to continue when the solar farm is operational.
An Environmental Impact Statement for the Cobbora Solar Farm is due to be submitted to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) in late 2024, before being placed on public exhibition for community and stakeholder feedback.
Pacific Partnerships purchased the project from Marble Energy, a renewable energy developer based in Sydney.
Pacific Partnerships will proactively engage and share benefits with the regional community, as demonstrated through its positive community engagement approach at Glenrowan Solar Farm in North East Victoria. Read more here.
