24.01.2022 At more than 200km from the closest electrical substation, Thargomindah will no longer rely on power from the grid with plans underway to make the town energy self-sufficient. Installation of solar panels across 24 sites in the area will mean they can produce their own power which will be fed back to the local community.

The Thargomindah Whole Town Renewable Energy Solution is a joint initiative of Bulloo Shire Council and the Queensland Government under the Local Government, Grants and Subsidies Program.
