Where is the project?
The project is located at Lotus Creek in the Central Queensland, west of St Lawrence. The project site is on Barada Barna Country and Barada Kabalbara Yetimarala Country.
How big is the project?
The project will consist of up to 55 wind turbines with a combined maximum capacity of up to 341 MW.
How tall will the wind turbines be?
The project will utilise Vestas Enventus turbines, with a hub height of 149m and a maximum blade tip height of 230m.
Project Construction
How long will it take to build the wind farm?
We expect to begin construction in late 2024, subject to secondary approvals, with operations expected in 2027.
Does the project require subsidies?
The project is not dependent on government subsidies for construction or operation.
Wind farms are considered to be one of the cheapest form of new electricity generation, along with solar energy, and can produce energy at a significantly lower cost than fossil fuel generation.
