Location

Boulder Creek Wind Farm is located approximately 40 km southwest of Rockhampton and 5 km west of Mount Morgan in central Queensland. The project’s location benefits from a vital wind resource, existing high voltage transmission lines onsite and good site accessibility. Wind measurements to date show winds from the east dominating the site with a strong night-time profile. This complements the day-time power output of existing solar farms to provide round-the-clock renewable power to the Queensland grid.

Proposed layout

This map shows the proposed turbine layout for Stage 1 (commencing construction in November 2024) including the location of existing transmission lines. Stage 1 of the project will comprise of 38 GE Vernova wind turbines with associated access tracks for construction and operation, as well as underground and overhead powerlines connecting to a new on-site substation. The project substation will connect to a new onsite switching station by a new onsite transmission line, which in turn connects the wind farm into the existing 275kV Powerlink transmission lines that cross the site. No new external transmission lines are required for the project.
