Where solar energy meets regenerative agriculture

Blind Creek Solar Farm and Battery was founded by local farmers with a multi-generational connection to the site and local community, together with a team of renewable energy experts. The characteristics of the project reflect their vision to co-locate regenerative agriculture with solar, engage in genuine community consultation and include the community in the project’s financial benefits.

The project aims to have renewable energy production co-exist with organic grass-fed lambs, regenerative agriculture, a soil carbon sequestration project and restoration of biodiversity.

In 2022, the founders partnered with Octopus Australia to turn their vision into reality, selecting Octopus Australia for its proven success at the operational Darlington Point Solar Farm and Dulacca Wind Farm, as well as its commitment to expanding renewable energy assets in New South Wales and dedication to fostering meaningful, positive community relationships.

Octopus Australia is at the forefront of Australia’s green energy transition, deeply committed to supporting sustainable growth and community engagement. Since our entry into the Australian market in 2018, we have played a pivotal role in developing renewable energy projects across Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. Our significant projects include the operational 180MW Dulacca Wind Farm and the 333MW Darlington Point Solar Farm.

As a part of our growing portfolio, the Blackstone Battery project exemplifies our commitment to enhancing Australia’s energy landscape. This initiative not only supports the nation’s renewable energy targets but also integrates community engagement deeply throughout the project lifecycle.
