Wilan Wind Farm is located within the Southwest Renewable Energy Zone, in an area with strong wind resources and very low population density being located across 16,000 Ha of pastoral lands used for sheep and cattle grazing.
Wind measurements demonstrate strong complementarity with the broader energy mix being developed in NSW and particularly with solar energy. The southern boundary of the site is adjacent to the Sturt Highway and 8km to the north of the new 330kV Energy Connect transmission line.
The project is expected to have up to 138 wind turbines with a generation capacity of up to 800MW.
