Carnegie Clean Energy says a 10-megawatt solar power station that it will build at Northam, east of Perth, in Western Australia, will generate enough electricity each year to power more than 4,000 homes for 25 years.
The solar power plant , comprising 34,000 solar panels on 25 hectares of land, is expected to cost $15 million to $20 million.
The plant will deliver energy into Western Australia's grid.
The solar plant has also been designed so that power can be stored in batteries in the future.
"The ability to add utility-scale battery storage is a new product offering we will integrate into our own solar farms and also to other developers of utility-scale solar farms as the technology costs continue to decline in the coming years," Carnegie chief executive Dr Michael Ottaviano said in a statement on Monday.
Construction is expected to start in mid-2017 and be operational by the end of 2017.
Carnegie shares were up 0.7 per cent to 8.1 cents at 1501 AEDT.
