Wind projects in South Australia
Updated
South Australia has more wind energy in its system, relative to demand, than almost anywhere else in the country. The Eyre Peninsula and the state's mid-north are the most active areas for development, and several large projects are in various stages of planning. The main challenges are now about system strength, the capacity of interconnectors to move power east, and ensuring new projects can connect into an already heavily loaded grid.
