Edenvale Solar Park Tops Australian Utility‑Scale PV Performance

The 204 MW Edenvale Solar Park in Queensland’s Western Downs region was identified by energy consultancy Rystad Energy as Australia’s best‑performing utility‑scale photovoltaic asset for the month, achieving an average AC capacity factor of 33.1%. The ranking placed Queensland co‑owners Eneos and Sojitz ahead of other large‑scale solar farms, with Greek‑owned Metka’s 82 MW Moura Solar Farm second (32.8% capacity factor) and Acen Australia’s Stage 2 of the 400 MW Stubbo project third (32.6%).

Rystad reported that all Australian utility‑scale solar plants generated 1,730 GWh of clean energy in the month, a 21% increase over April 2025, while total utility‑scale PV and wind output rose to 4.7 TWh, up 24% month‑on‑month. Queensland led the nation in utility solar and wind generation with 1,256 GWh, hosting three of the top five PV assets.

The data underscores the rapid growth of large‑scale renewable generation in Australia and highlights Edenvale’s strong operational performance under the ownership of Japanese firms Eneos and Sojitz.
