Early construction works for stage 1 began in December 2021. The project is owned by Neoen and the construction contract was awarded to a consortium of GE Renewable Energy and Elecnor.[1]
Generation capacity of stage 1 is anticipated to be 412MW. The Government of the Australian Capital Territory has signed a 14-year contract for 100MW of electricity. Generation will be from 75 GE 5.5-158 Cypress wind turbines. It will have a new transmission line to connect to the Robertstown substation. It is expected to be operational in 2024.[1]
The Goyder South Wind Farm proposal has replaced the 119 MW Stony Gap Wind Farm which had been proposed for the same area, originally by EnergyAustralia[2] who sold it to Palisade Investment Partners in 2017[3] before Neoen bought the proposal in September 2019 and included it in the larger plan.[4]
