Golden Plains Wind Farm

Location: Cressy, VIC
Traditional Country: Eastern Maar, Wadawurrung
Timeframe: November 2022 – late 2024

Overview

We’ve been engaged by WestWind Energy and TagEnergy to connect the first stage of the Golden Plains Wind Farm to the electricity grid.

We’ll design, build, own and operate the transmission assets for the wind farm.

When the second stage is complete, the Golden Plains Wind Farm will have a capacity of 1,330 megawatts (MW), enough to power more than 750,000 homes a year, or every home in regional Victoria.

What we’re doing

  • Building the new Golden Plains Terminal Station
  • Building the new Cressy Terminal Station, including two 500/220 kilovolt (kV) transformers. The transformer will convert electricity from 220kV to 500kV.
  • Building a new 5-kilometre, 220 kV transmission line to connect the new Golden Plains Terminal Station.
  • Undertaking remote-end interface works on the existing 500 kV network.
  • Connecting the existing 500 kV network into the new Cressy Terminal Station.
