About
The Broken Hill Solar Plant, which became operational in December 2015, is a 53 megawatt farm located near Broken Hill in western New South Wales, Australia. It is associated with the Nyngan Solar Plant (almost 600 km to the east), making the total capacity of the combined plants 155 megawatts.
The Broken Hill solar plant, like other generation near the edge of the grid, has suffered from changes in loss factor calculations, with a decrease of 22.7% from a 2017-18 financial year (FY) Marginal Loss Factor (MLF) of 1.2841 to 1.0603 (2018-19 FY MLF), which has affected revenue. On 12 September 2019, the output of the farm was reduced by 50%.
