We acknowledge the First Nations Bailai, Gurang, Gooreng Gooreng & Taribelang Peoples who are the traditional custodians of the site which will become the Miriam Vale Solar Farm.
We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to the lands and waters of Queensland.

Fact Sheets
The below Fact Sheets, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and Fast Facts provide more information about the Miriam Vale Solar Farm and BESS. See the Miriam Vale BESS website for more specific information about that project.
Project planning
The Miriam Vale Solar Farm and BESS Development Applications (DAs) were lodged with Gladstone Regional Council (GRC) in mid-2024. Documents submitted with the Solar Farm DA are included below.
As a result of listening to community feedback, we have changed the scale and design of the projects significantly since the DAs were lodged. Based on these changes, and the new Planning (Social Impact and Community Benefit) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025, these DAs are likely no longer relevant. PEP therefore withdrew the DAs on Friday, 13 June, and is finalising updated planning and design, and assessing resubmission via the appropriate approval authority. You can read the Solar Farm DA withdrawal notice here.
