Powering South East Queensland

Development approval for the Wambo Wind Farm was received from the Queensland Government in October 2020. The project is now working through the remaining primary approvals required prior to construction including connecting the project to the National Electricity Market. The project is expected to reach Financial Close in Q1 2022 and commence construction in 2022.

The Wambo Wind Farm is scheduled to be the next large-scale wind farm operating and delivering power into the grid in South West Queensland. The project is located in a strong stable part of the national grid, connecting to the network close to the Tarong coal-fired power station, and close to the large electrical loads in South East Queensland. The Wambo wind farm at full capacity is expected to generate enough energy to power 170,500 QLD homes per year.
