After previous solar project failures, Windorah in outback Queensland launched a new 850-kilowatt solar farm and battery system to increase energy resilience and reduce diesel dependency, though residents won't see lower power bills.

• Windorah's new 850-kilowatt solar farm and one-megawatt battery system began operation after previous solar projects failed
• The project reduces diesel generator use by over 50% and increases energy resilience for the isolated town
• Local residents do not expect lower power bills despite the renewable energy installation
• The state-funded initiative aims to transition remote Queensland towns from diesel to solar power
