The 250 MW Goorambat East Solar Farm, located in northern Victoria between the towns of Goorambat and Benalla, is set for completion in 2026, with operations expected to commence in 2027.

The Goorambat East Solar Farm will feature approximately 500,000 solar panels spread across a 630-hectare site, which spans five private rural properties.

The facility will also connect to the grid through the newly constructed Goorambat East terminal station.

Engie has contracted Bouygues Construction Australia and Equans Solar and Storage for engineering, procurement, and construction services.
