Project Schedule

The proposed Wanganella Wind Farm is located next to the Cobb Highway in Wanganella, New South Wales.

This project intends to connect to New South Wales' electricity network via a switching station connecting to the proposed 500kV Victoria to New South Wales Interconnector West (VNI West). It is expected to commence operations by 2032.

Wanganella Wind Farm will produce, store and dispatch power directly into VNI West enhancing the security and reliability of electricity networks in New South Wales and Victoria.

Putting downward pressure on electricity prices for Victorians

Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub will store renewable energy for use in Melbourne when it is needed and also absorb excess roof-top solar from Victorian homes as it flows back into the transmission grid.

The project is designed with innovative inverter technology to support the transmission grid's voltage and frequency, and replace 'system inertia' that is lost when coal and gas fired power stations retire over the next decade.
