The National Renewables in Agriculture Conference + Expo brings together farmers, agriculture and energy consultants, peak bodies and Government representatives to share stories of on-farm renewables, their business case and discuss what’s driving the transformation of energy use in agriculture.

Large scale solar and wind developments present opportunities for farmers and regional communities if planned well with meaningful engagement around benefit sharing. These topics plus combining farming and solar, termed agrivoltaics, also forms part of the yearly Conference program.

Farmer gathering - New for 2026!
11 August 2026
3-5pm

Make the most of your trip to Orange by joining a farmer-only gathering ahead of the Renewables in Ag Conference. Meet farmers already using renewables on their land, including those hosting wind turbines, and hear their experiences in an informal setting. With plenty of time for questions and conversation, it’s a great way to connect with peers and get practical insights before the conference starts.
