The Sunraysia Solar Farm is owned by Maoneng Australia and is being designed and built by Decmil.^[2][3] Construction started in early 2019.^[4]

Fifty percent of the output of the Sunraysia Solar Farm energy will supply AGL Energy, and twenty-five percent will be supplied to the University of New South Wales. The rest will be sold into the National Electricity Market.^[5] It is part of AGL's plan to replace the output of its coal-fired Liddell Power Station which is due to close in 2022.^[4]

Immediately north of the Sunraysia Solar Farm, the Limondale Solar Farm has been commissioned.^[5] Both solar farms will connect to the same 220kV TransGrid substation.
