The University of Queensland is spending $125m to less cut than end its electricity bill. The university will commission and when built manage a 154 000 megawatt hour solar generator, more than offsetting the university’s $22m existing and projected electricity consumption.  The plant is planned to be operating in 2019, at Warwick in the state’s Southern Downs region.

Back in 2015 the university commissioned the state’s then largest solar array, with 37 000 power panels at the Gatton campus.
