Our Assets
Kiamal Solar Farm & Synchronous Condenser
Kiamal Solar Farm Phase 1 is a 256MWp PV solar farm located in Ouyen, and is one of the largest solar farms in Victoria. Its 190MVar Kiamal Synchronous Condenser is the world’s first co-located solar farm with synchronous condenser and today hosts Australia’s largest single-unit synchronous condenser, which provides critical system strength services to the North-West Victorian transmission network.

Kiamal Battery Energy Storage System
The project is called the Kiamal Battery Energy Storage System (KBESS). The project involves a battery of 220MW 4hr battery, located south of the existing substation on Kiamal Solar Farm stage 1 (KSF1).
The KBESS will support the integration of KSF1, by storing additional solar supply and releasing it into the grid during peak demand periods.
Kiamal Solar Farm Stage 2
Kiamal Solar Farm Stage 2, located near Ouyen in Victoria, is an exciting expansion of Kiamal Solar Farm Stage 1, one of the state's largest solar project. This stage will add an additional 150 MW of capacity, enhancing the farm's ability to generate clean, renewable energy.
Kiamal Solar Farm Stage 2 supports Victoria's renewable energy targets and contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions while creating jobs and driving local investment.

Middlebrook Solar Farm and Battery Energy Storage System
The proposed Middlebrook Solar Farm is a PV solar farm and energy storage project located near Middlebrook Rd, Loomberah in the New England region of northern NSW. The project area is approximately 22 km south of Tamworth and is currently under development. The project received planning consent in November 2024.
The solar farm portion of the project is comprised of multiple land parcels adjacent to Middlebrook Road with a potential capacity of up to 320 MWac. Middlebrook Energy Storage System will be a large AC-coupled battery with up to 320 MW / 780 MWh capacity.

Pleasant Hills Solar Farm
The proposed Pleasant Hills Solar Farm is a PV solar farm project with a capacity of up to 120MW located around 25km north of Roma, Queensland, on a land known as the Pleasant Hills Property.
The objective is to supply low-carbon electricity to the Roma field’s gas production and processing facilities which will contribute to lowering the emissions of Gladstone LNG.
TotalEnergies is leading the development of the Pleasant Hills project on behalf of the Gladstone LNG shareholders.

Vic Battery
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is being developed in Victoria to enhance grid stability by storing excess energy during low demand and releasing it during peak times, reducing the risk of blackouts.
The system will support the integration of renewable energy sources, balancing supply and demand, and contribute to a cleaner environment. Additionally, it will help lower electricity costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, representing a significant step towards a sustainable energy future for Victoria.
Greenfield Wind Development
Wind renewable energy projects are being developed in New South Wales and Queensland to boost regional investment and support farming communities.
These projects diversify the energy supply, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and create regional jobs. Contributing to sustainable growth and environmental stewardship, they drive economic benefits and support a cleaner future.
At TotalEnergies, we are supporting the energy transition in Australia by leveraging innovative solutions and renewable energy technologies. Our investments here reflect our ambition to build a low carbon energy mix, while supporting the local economy and creating long-term value for communities.
