Project overview
The Project
Initially, our Project proposed up to 105 turbine locations. However, following a review of completed studies and our engagement activities to date, we are now investigating a proposed new layout with between 75 and 85 turbine locations, subject to the outcomes of the EIS. Each turbine will have a maximum blade tip height of 230 metres and the combined capacity will be up to 585 MW. The Project is expected to generate enough clean, renewable wind energy to power almost 300,000 average NSW homes.
The Piambong Wind Farm is a proposed renewable energy project in the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) of New South Wales near Gulgong, about 200km from Sydney.
