Lower Wonga Country Australia Location Lower Wonga, Queensland Status Proposed Construction cost $2billion Owner SolarQ Solar farm Type Flat-panel PV Site area 17 square kilometres (6.6 sq mi) Power generation Nameplate capacity 350 MW (Initial) [edit on Wikidata]

The **Lower Wonga Solar Farm** is a proposed [photovoltaic power station](/source/Photovoltaic_power_station), located in the rural locality of [Lower Wonga](/source/Lower_Wonga), [Gympie Region](/source/Gympie_Region), [Queensland](/source/Queensland), Australia. If the station is completed to its final configuration of 3 million solar panels capable of powering about 315,000 homes, it would become Australia's largest solar power station.[1][2][3][4]

## Location

The Lower Wonga Solar Farm would be located on previously cleared lands used for grazing,[3] on the corner of the [Wide Bay Highway](/source/Wide_Bay_Highway) and Gympie Woolooga Road, Lower Wonga, Queensland. The farm site is also located next to the Woolooga Substation and transmission lines, providing a cheap and easy point to distribute power into the grid.
