The sunshine state will soon become the solar state, with the looming construction of six projects capable of generating enough energy for 120,000 homes.
The large-scale solar generation projects will deliver $500 million of investment and create more than 500 direct jobs in regional Queensland.
Construction is expected to begin next year on the projects, which are among 12 across the country to receive funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).
