Kojonup Wind Farm
Strengthening regional energy security with lasting community benefits
The Kojonup Wind Farm will have an installed capacity of
204 MW, delivering annually 700 GWh of clean electricity - enough to power approximately 135,000 homes.
The project will add new renewable generation to strengthen energy security in the Great Southern. Featuring modern turbines, underground cabling and a new substation,
it supports the State's coal transition and provides a
long-term Community Benefit Fund for local initiatives.
