Project outline
Boulder Creek Wind Farm is an up to 372 MW onshore wind farm, located 40 km southwest of Rockhampton and approximately 5 km west of Mount Morgan in central Queensland. The project is being developed by Aula Energy and is expected to comprise up to 60 wind turbines.
Boulder Creek Wind Farm is anticipated to provide economic benefits to the local region during both construction and operational phases. The project’s location benefits from a strong wind resource and a wind profile which is complementary to existing local solar farms to provide reliable round-the-clock power to the Queensland grid.
Project status
The project has been granted approval by the Queensland Government and the Commonwealth Government under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
Construction of the first stage of the wind farm is expected to begin in mid 2024. Stage 1 will comprise 38 turbines with a nameplate capacity of 228 MW.
