Gannawarra Solar Farm is a photovoltaic solar power station in the Gannawarra Shire, {{convert|13|km}} west of Kerang in the Australian state of Victoria. It generates up to 60 MW{{sub|dc}} electricity and exports up to 50.61 MW{{sub|AC}} to the National Electricity Market at 66 kV.{{cite web |url=https://www.aemo.com.au/Electricity/National-Electricity-Market-NEM/Planning-and-forecasting/Generation-information |title=Generation Information Page |publisher=Australian Energy Market Operator |accessdate=4 August 2018 |date=31 July 2018}}

Solar Choice was the originating developer of the Gannawarra Solar Farm securing the site and early-stage development approvals before the project was acquired by Edify Energy.{{cite web |url=https://www.solarchoice.net.au/blog/news/gannawarra-solar-farm-connects-grid |title=Gannawarra Solar Farm connects to grid (battery coming soon) |first=Giles |last=Parkinson |date=18 April 2018 |publisher=Solar Choice}} It was first connected to the grid by Powercor Australia in April 2018. It is 94.9% owned by [https://wirsol.com.au WIRSOL], a brand of Wircon GmbH and 5.1% owned by the developer Edify Energy who is also the longterm asset manager of the project.{{Citation needed|date=October 2019|reason=Reference 1 says O&M by Canadian Solar}} It consists of JA Solar modules with ATI DuraTrack mounting system and SMA 2500 SC-EV inverters. It was financed in a single package with the Whitsunday Solar Farm and Hamilton Solar Farm, both in Queensland, which projects were also developed and are managed by Edify Energy.{{cite web |url=https://wirsol.com.au/portfolio/gannawarra-solar-farm/ |title=Gannawarra Solar Farm |publisher=Wirsol |accessdate=4 August 2018}} The engineering, procurement, and construction was provided by RCR Tomlinson.{{cite web |url=https://www.rcrtom.com.au/latest-projects/gannawarra-solar-farm/ |title=Gannawarra Solar Farm |publisher=RCR Tomlinson |accessdate=4 August 2018}}

The Gannawarra Solar Farm is integrated with the Gannawarra Energy Storage System consisting of a 25 MW / 50 MW·h Tesla Powerpack battery (2 hours). This project was developed and is 50.01% owned by Edify Energy, who also manage this project. Edify started operating a 185 MW / 370 MW·h battery energy storage system (2 hours) at the same site in 2025.{{cite web |title=Big battery starts sending power to the grid near Victoria’s “rhombus of regret” |url=https://reneweconomy.com.au/big-battery-starts-sending-power-to-the-grid-near-victorias-rhombus-of-regret/ |website=RenewEconomy |language=en-AU |date=18 February 2025}}
