The latest in renewable energy projects went before the July meeting of Hay Shire Council, where the development was approved.

Green Gold Energy is proposing a five-megawatt solar farm on the property of Cameron and Lyn Clark, on the Murrumbidgee River Road.

The development will comprise approximately 12,000 solar panels, mounted on single axis tracking arrays, along with one central inverter and eight battery energy storage systems (BESS).
