FPR Muswellbrook Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of FPR Energy, is developing a 4.99 MW concentrated solar thermal (CST) demonstration facility northeast of Muswellbrook.
Using FPR Energy's particle-based CST technology, the project will store solar heat in ceramic particles to generate electricity when needed, supplying clean power to the national grid. The facility will feature ~7,600 heliostats, a 110 meter solar tower with 16-hour thermal storage, and supporting infrastructure.
Environmental and social studies are underway as part of the planning approvals process, with community feedback invited during this phase.
Technology: Concentrate Solar Thermal
Phase: Scoping
Location: Muswellbrook, NSW
Area: 28 ha
Production: 4.99 MW
The Project Area is located at 122 Sandy Creek Road, on land formerly subject to quarrying activities
