Tarleigh Park Solar Farm would be a 90MW utility-scale solar PV park, the development of which is currently being investigated by UK-headquartered developer RES (Renewable Energy Systems), in Blighty, a small development 23km southeast of the nearest ‘big’ town, Delinquin (population: around 8,000).

About 2km away would be Currawarra Solar Farm, a 195MW facility, for which RES has also made an application.

Both projects' proposals include battery energy storage.
