Elgin Energy, backed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, has abandoned its planned 90 MW solar farm and equal‑capacity battery storage at Mitchells Flat, NSW, after intense local opposition. The project, slated for 177,000 panels on low‑quality agricultural land, faced community pushback over its location near residential areas and a proposed 14 km high‑voltage line. Critics argued the site was unsuitable and suggested repurposing former mining lands, which already host similar renewable projects. Federal MP Dan Repacholi welcomed the cancellation, calling it a positive outcome for the Hunter region.
