The Minister for Resources and Energy, Minister Ferguson, announced on 9 June 2012 that AGL Energy has been offered approximately $130 million for a 159-megawatt photovoltaic power plant across two sites near Broken Hill and Nyngan in New South Wales, which are suspected to be operational from 2015. The minister was also referred to other Solar Flagships project proposals in ARENA, but I will take that on notice to ensure that Mr Ferguson and Mr Combet can add any additional information.
