Kiamal Solar Farm is a photovoltaic power station under construction north of Ouyen in western Victoria, Australia. Stage 1 is expected to be completed by the end of 2019. It is owned by Total Eren, a renewable energy subsidiary of TotalEnergies[1] When completed, stage 1 at 256MW will be Victoria's largest solar farm. Construction began in October 2018. It has energy offtake agreements with Mars Australia, Flow Power and Alinta Energy.[2]
It was claimed in April 2019 that 13 water corporations in Victoria had entered into a contract to purchase power from the farm.[3]
Kiamal will be one of the first solar farms to install a synchronous condenser as part of the requirements to connect to the electricity grid.[4] The synchronous condenser was manufactured by Siemens and delivered on the MV Salome to Port Adelaide then transferred by road to the site near Ouyen.[5]
