flag New South Wales approved over 54,000 hectares for renewable projects in 2025, attracting more than $8 billion in investment. flag Nine major projects—four solar, two wind, two battery storage, and one compressed air storage—were cleared, adding up to 3.4 gigawatts of generation and 9.8 gigawatt-hours of storage. flag The average approval time for state significant developments dropped to 142 days. flag Projects will install 2.3 million solar panels and nearly 400 wind turbines, creating about 2,967 construction jobs. flag While 17 wind and 28 solar projects are operational, concerns remain over land use, agricultural impact, and long-term decommissioning, with no clear plan on which local areas bear the heaviest burden.
