Sydney business FRV Services Australia will assume full ownership and development rights to the approved 90-megawatt farm, subject to approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board.
The solar farm, set to be located 16 kilometres south of Temora, is expected to create permanent jobs for two to three staff, along with up to 150 jobs during construction and ongoing local contract work.
Temora mayor Rick Firman said the influx of jobs during the construction phase would be vital for the region as it continues to feel the effects of drought.
In a statement, FRV said it was pleased to be part of the transformation of the NSW electricity generation system toward renewables.
"Sebastopol Solar Farm is in the final stages of development and will contribute both economically and environmentally to the region as well as the state," the statement said.
