Overview
Tchelery wind farm will host up to 120 turbines, making it about an 800 MW wind farm, in the South-West Renewable Energy Zone (SW REZ) in New South Wales.
The electricity generated will be supplied directly into the national electricity grid through a proposed connection into the existing 220 kV transmission line or into the new Project Energy Connect Transmission line.
WIND
Wind turbines are tall structures that can capture stronger winds at higher altitudes. Turbines are generally 150-290m in height.

Wind Farm
The Tchelery Wind Farm will be located approximately 30 km north-east of Moulamein, 62 km south-east of Balranald and 67 km south-west of Hay, within the Edward River Council Local Government Area (LGA). The Proposal also borders the Hay LGA and Murray River LGA.
The wind farm, including ancillary infrastructure, is proposed to be located on freehold land titles with a total area of approximately 28,000 hectares. The turbines will be installed on the flat land of this freehold property.
Neoen owns and operates Coleambally Solar Farm and Griffith Solar Farm in the nearby regions.
South West Renewable Energy Zone and Project Energy Connect
The Tchelery Wind Farm is being proposed in South West Renewable Energy Zone (SW REZ), announced by NSW Government in November 2022. The REZ is proposed to deliver 2.5 GW of renewable energy to support the transition to a renewable energy -based electricity market. The REZ is expected to generate $2.8 billion in private investment by 2030 and over 2,000 construction jobs, at its peak, in the region. The REZ plays a vital role in delivering affordable, reliable generation to NSW consumers to help replace the State’s existing power stations as they approach their end of life.
ElectraNet and Transgrid are partnering to deliver an energy infrastructure project called ‘Project Energy Connect’ which will include an interconnector between the power grids of South Australia and New South Wales, with an added connection to Victoria. The approximate total length of these new transmission lines will be around 900km.

Neoen has been contributing to Australia’s energy transition with 100% renewable energy since 2012.
With a balanced portfolio of wind, solar and big battery projects, we are aiming to achieve 10 GW by 2030. We own and operate all of the projects we build (rather than developing them to be sold) and as long-term neighbours we are committed to sharing the benefits with surrounding communities.
This dedication to community and environment has made us a renewable energy developer of choice in Australia.
