Skye Ridge Wind Farm

Location
Around 10 km west of Walcha, NSW

Current phase
Project development and approvals

Project size and capacity
Pending finalisation of the project scoping report

The proposed Skye Ridge Wind Farm is located around 10km west of Walcha, in the southern part of the New England REZ.

Since acquiring the project, Origin has been carrying out a range of activities to progress the project including landholder engagement, site assessments, and further measurement of the potential wind resource.

These activities will help inform a scoping report, to be lodged with NSW Government, that will include the proposed size and generation capacity of the project.

Origin will continue to engage with the community on the scoping of this project and further engagement will occur prior to submission.

Renewable energy generated by the proposed wind farm will support the decarbonisation of the national electricity market (NEM) and help meet the future energy needs of business and households.
