The Quorn Park Hybrid Solar facility in New South Wales has installed its final solar panel, achieving a key milestone for Australia's first large-scale solar-battery hybrid project connected to the main grid. Developed by Potentia Energy, the $192 million facility combines 80 MW of photovoltaic capacity with a 20 MW battery.

Construction, performed by Beon Energy Solutions, involved nearly 161,000 panels and is expected to be completed by late 2026. The project aims to enhance grid reliability and provide enough renewable energy to power around 45,000 homes annually. The facility began injecting power into the National Electricity Market last month.
