Neoen inaugurates 412 MW Goyder South Wind Farm

The project is under three long-term PPAs.

Neoen has inaugurated its 412 megawatt (MW) Goyder South Wind Farm in South Australia.

“Located on the lands of the Ngadjuri Nation near the town of Burra in SA’s Mid North region, Goyder South is the largest wind farm in the State and in Neoen’s portfolio,” the company said.

Featuring 75 wind turbines, this wind farm is expected to generate approximately 1.5 terrawatt-hours of renewable energy annually. This contribution is projected to increase wind generation in the state’s electricity market by more than 20%, playing an instrumental role in South Australia’s aspiration to achieve 100% net renewables by 2027.

The Goyder South is now delivering energy to customers under three long-term power purchase agreements. It has a 14-year contract for 100 MW with the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Government, a 10-year agreement for 40 MW with Flow Power, and is also delivering an industry-first, 70 MW renewable energy baseload agreement with BHP in tandem with Neoen’s Blyth Battery.

Neoen’s total contribution to South Australia’s energy transition will surpass 1.5 gigawatts of renewable energy and storage capacity once the company launches construction of its Goyder North Wind Farm and Goyder Battery. These two new assets, together with Goyder South, are part of Neoen’s flagship Goyder Renewables Zone, a renewable energy hub located in the state’s Mid North.
