Wind projects in New South Wales
Updated
New South Wales has some of Australia's most active wind development, concentrated in the New England and Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zones. Grid access and the timing of transmission upgrades such as HumeLink are the primary variables shaping which projects move through planning and into construction. As coal exits the system over the coming years, the race is on to have new wind capacity connected before those generation slots close.
