TagEnergy’s Golden Plains Wind Farm in Victoria has moved closer to operation and becoming the largest wind farm in the Southern Hemisphere at 1.3TW.

With finance and agreements now in place, construction of Stage 2’s 93 wind turbine generators will begin, buoyed by the Australian Government’s Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS). Golden Plains Wind Farm Stage 1 is expected to start producing green energy in the first quarter of 2025, with Stage 2 to follow in mid-2027.

Comprising the 756MW Stage 1 and 577MW Stage 2, the project will deliver 9 per cent of Victoria’s energy when completed.
