At a glance

• 56 utility-scale solar farms operating or under construction (2026), delivering ~ 2.2 GW – well short of the 25 GW of expected demand by 2035.
• Strong solar conditions, particularly in the northwest of Victoria, with annual solar irradiance above 1,900 kWh/m²/y.
• Initial $1 billion invested by the Victorian Government to deliver 4.5 GW of new renewable generation and storage.
• Established and growing energy sector workforce, projected to grow to 67,000 by 2040.

Why Victoria for solar energy investment?

Victorian policy certainty backed by long-term energy targets and planning pathways

• Victoria has a legislated net zero by 2045 target, the first Australian state to do so and the most ambitious
• Victoria has legislated complimentary renewable storage targets of:
  • at least 2.6 GW of energy storage by 2030
  • at least 6.3 GW by 2035.
• The Victorian Government has established approvals and planning pathways for large-scale projects.
• Fast-tracked approvals through the Development Facilitation Program which accelerates planning permits for large-scale renewable facilities, reducing bureaucratic delays for global developers.
• The Victorian Government has declared Renewable Energy Zones (REZs).

Victoria combines favourable solar resources with diverse land availability

• Strong solar irradiation, particularly in the northwest of Victoria, with levels exceeding 1,900 kWh/m²/y – higher than most of Western Europe.
• Consistent energy generation conditions, with more than 2,200 hours of sunshine annually across the state supporting reliable year-round solar output.
• Victoria offers suitable land for large scale development. Renewable Energy Zones (REZs), such as the Murray River and Western Victoria have been specifically identified as optimal sites for hosting large-scale solar farms.

Significant Victorian government support for sophisticated infrastructure

• Victorian Transmission Plan (VTP) – a 15-year strategic roadmap to ensure necessary infrastructure exists to connect new solar projects to the grid.
• Victorian Government capital commitment of $1 billion to re-establish the State Electricity Commission (SEC) and accelerate large-scale renewable generation and storage.

Established solar supply chains and a skilled workforce

• Australia's leading manufacturing state, providing a strong base for energy infrastructure and component production
• Expanding local manufacturing and supply chain for solar components, supporting faster project delivery and reducing reliance on offshore sourcing.
• Large and growing energy workforce, projected to reach 67,000 by 2040 , supported by the National Training Centre in New Energy Skills located in Melbourne.
• Globally recognised innovation and research ecosystem in Melbourne, underpinning ongoing capability development in new energy technologies.

Government support and incentives

Ongoing strategic Victorian Government initiatives support investment in solar and reduce investment risk.

Victorian Government

• Development Facilitation Program – fast-tracking of planning approvals for large, renewable energy facilities
• Solar Sunshot program – production subsidies and grants for the solar-photovoltaic supply chain
• $1.3 billion Solar Homes Program.

Australian Government

• Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS)
• Future Made in Australia Innovation Fund

Recent investments

Public projects
