Project planning resources
The NSW Government has developed a range of information to help industry navigate the renewable energy sector.
Large-Scale Solar Energy Guideline
The Large-scale Solar Energy Guideline provides the community, industry, applicants and regulators with information on the planning framework for the assessment and approval of State significant large-scale solar energy projects.
Wind Energy Framework
This framework provides greater clarity, consistency and transparency for industry and the community regarding both assessment and decision-making on wind energy projects.

Wind Farm Guide for Host Landholders
The NSW Government provided funding to the New South Wales Farmers' Association (NSWFA) to develop this guide for landholders who wish to host wind or solar farms on their properties. This guide has essential information that helps landholders negotiate mutually beneficial agreements with renewable energy developer. It shows how neighbours and local communities can also share in the benefits.
Mapping resources
The NSW Government has a range of mapping resources which can be helpful when deciding where to locate a new project including the NSW Renewable Energy Map. For more information, visit the maps page.
