Renewable Energy

Western Australia has eight renewable energy plants of at least 5MW generating electricity with a combined capacity of 430.4 MW. The largest of these, the Collgar Wind Farm has a 206MW capacity.

More than $1b is to be spent, which will almost treble the renewable generation in our grid over the next two years, with plans to add 900 MW of new projects under new Generator Interim Access offers.
