Crookwell Wind Farm

Crookwell Wind Farm, located in Crookwell, New South Wales, is a prime example of Australia's commitment to harnessing the power of nature for clean energy production.

It consists of eight 600 kW wind turbines with a total capacity of 4.8 MW. Built in 1998, it was the first grid-connected wind farm in Australia and is now owned by Tilt Renewables.

Phase two of the Crookwell Wind Farm, known as Crookwell 2 Wind Farm, is currently under construction. It is planned to have an installed capacity of 92 MW and was officially opened in November 2018. Modifications were approved in 2017, allowing for an increase in various aspects of the wind farm's design. It is expected to generate 300 GWh of energy per year, with a capacity factor of 36%.

The first generation of phase two wind turbines began in August 2018 and reached full production in December of the same year. Monthly energy generation data, obtained using eljmkt nemlog, is available in the generation table. Asterisks indicate limited power output for specific months.

Crookwell Wind Farm serves as a shining example of renewable energy production in Australia. It has been generating clean energy for over two decades and contributes to the country's transition to greener energy sources. Visitors to the wind farm can witness the impressive sight of towering wind turbines, harnessing the power of the wind to provide electricity for homes and businesses.
