Development and purpose

The farm is being developed by Goldwind Australia.^[2] When operational, it will be one of three wind farms in Moorabool Shire. The others are Yaloak South Wind Farm and Lal Lal Wind Farm.^[3]

When fully operational, the farm will produce up to 312MW of electricity, enough energy to power approximately 228,000 Victorian homes.^[4]

The components for the southern section were delivered from the Port of Geelong in a total of 594 oversized loads at a rate of approximately 33 per week from September 2019 to February 2020.^[5]

The wind farm commenced partial operation in late 2020. Commissioning was completed in 2022.^[2] An integrated battery is being tested to provide grid services.^[6]
