Project details
Located a few kilometres southwest of the town of Clermont in central Queensland, the Clermont Solar Farm is WIRSOL’s third large-scale, solar generator in Queensland.
In July 2022, Flow Power secured an 8.5-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 34% of the generation, or 25.22 MW from the project. You can learn more about our PPA here.
Owned and operated by WIRSOL, the 75 MW, 497-acre solar farm is a single-axis tracking project that increases solar energy generation by following the sun’s movement from east to west during the day.
Adding to Flow Power’s extensive renewable energy portfolio, Clermont Solar Farm is Flow Power’s first Queensland offtake agreement.
In November 2022 Asahi Beverages signed a Power Purchase Agreement with Flow Power to utilise the renewable energy generated by the Clermont Solar Farm.
You can learn more about our partnership with Asahi via our media release.
WIRSOL, owners of the Clermont Solar Farm, worked with Wangan and Jagalingou Traditional Owners in the project’s development. 
In addition to employment opportunities, educational scholarships and contributions to cultural and ecotourism projects have been designed to leave a lasting, positive legacy.

Clermont Solar Farm FAQs
Issued by the Clean Energy Regulator, a federal government body, Large-scale Generation Certificates or LGCs are a kind of currency for buying and selling renewable energy. Under Flow Power’s Power Renewable agreement, a specific renewable project is nominated to provide businesses with a clear link to the project that is generating their LGCs.
Through Flow Power, Asahi Beverages has entered into a PPA for energy and LGCs from Clermont Solar Farm. This provides a link between Clermont’s renewable power generation and Asahi’s power usage.
This is a solar tracking system that adjusts the solar panels on one axis and tracks the sun moving from east to west during the day. Such systems are more reliable and will help maximise energy production.
GeenPower is a federal government program that ensures the renewable energy purchased comes from a third-party accredited renewable energy source, and that it is added to the grid on their behalf.
The Clermont Solar Farm is a GreenPower accredited renewable energy product that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and supports Queensland’s clean energy transition.
