Finley Solar Farm is a photovoltaic power station near Finley in New South Wales, Australia. It was developed at a cost of A$170 million by ESCO Pacific in 2019 and built and commissioned by Signal Energy Australia Pty Ltd.[1] ESCO sold the project to John Laing Group on 12 November 2018 at the same time as Westpac and ANZ Banks committed to the debt funding for the development.[2]

The solar farm has a seven-year power purchase agreement to supply electricity to BlueScope.[3]
