Australia’s first co-located wind and solar farm Gullen Solar Farm has officially been launched by Beijing Jingneng Clean Energy (BJCE). Located in the NSW Southern Tablelands, the 28-hectare solar farm was jointly funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and is jointly owned by BJCE and Goldwind (Capital) Australia.
