Proposals for a new solar farm between Holsworthy and Launceston have been revealed.

A public exhibition is to be held next week to discuss proposals for the new eight megawatt solar farm at West Venn Farm, near Ashwater.

  1. Solar panels

Plans for the new solar farm, which is to be built on 16.5 hectares of land approximately two miles north west of Ashwater, suggest it will provide energy for more than 2,000 homes.

It would consist of rows of angled photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on steel frames which would allow room for sheep grazing between and below the rows.
