The Sunraysia Solar Farm is a solar farm under construction south of Balranald in south western New South Wales, Australia. It is expected to be completed around the end of 2019.{{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 |date=21 January 2019 |access-date=16 February 2019}}

The Sunraysia Solar Farm is owned by Maoneng Australia and is being designed and built by Decmil.{{cite web |url=https://www.sunraysiasolarfarm.com.au/ |title=Sunraysia 255MWDC Solar Farm |publisher=Maoneng Australia |access-date=16 February 2019}}{{cite web |url=https://www.decmilsunraysia.com/ |title=Sunraysia Solar Farm |publisher=Decmil |accessdate=16 February 2019}} Construction started in early 2019.{{cite web |title=Construction begins on 255MW Sunraysia solar farm in NSW |url=https://reneweconomy.com.au/construction-begins-on-255mw-sunraysia-solar-farm-in-nsw-19587/ |accessdate=16 February 2019 |first=Sophie |last=Vorrath |date=23 January 2019 |newspaper=Renew Economy}}

Fifty percent of the output of the Sunraysia Solar Farm energy will supply AGL Energy, and twenty-five percent will be supplied to the University of New South Wales. The rest will be sold into the National Electricity Market. It is part of AGL's plan to replace the output of its coal-fired Liddell Power Station which is due to close in 2022.

Immediately north of the Sunraysia Solar Farm, the Limondale Solar Farm has been commissioned.{{cite news |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-10/two-of-australias-biggest-solar-farms-set-for-balranald/10359110 |title=Two of Australia's biggest solar farms set for NSW, as market operator looks at how to manage power grid |work=ABC Mildura-Swan Hill |first=Simon |last=Galletta |first2=Matt |last2=Tribe |date=10 October 2018 |access-date=16 February 2019}} Both solar farms will connect to the same 220kV TransGrid substation.
