Community

Our commitment to people and sustainability

FRV is passionate about this project. We recognise the importance of ensuring the project is a success for the Moree community.

Moree Solar Farm (MSF) creates employment opportunities, produces no emissions from electricity generation and has a significantly lower environmental impact relative to other electricity generation methods.

Working in collaboration with Moree Plains Shire Council, each year, MSF contributes financially to a Community Enhancement Fund which aims to support community, sporting or educational organisations serving community members in the Moree Plains Shire. In 2019, the fund was granted to Moree Boars Rugby League Football Club for perimeter fencing on Boughton Oval.

In addition to that MSF also sponsored Moree Suns AFL Club's caps, jumpers and shorts for their junior and senior team, following a devastating fire incident at the end of their 2018 season when many items were lost.

During the month of May 2019, an educational visit was organised for the students of Moree Secondary College. For further information, please visit https://frv.com/en/events/students-visit-moree-solar-farm/.
