Windy Plains Renewable Energy Park
The proposed Windy Plains Renewable Energy Park (REP) is located approximately 40 km southeast of the township of Julia Creek in Queensland’s McKinlay Shire Council area.
This wind farm and associated battery storage will contribute significantly to Australia’s renewable energy targets and broader net-zero ambitions.
Benefits
Direct Economic Benefits
Generation of local, regional, and state employment opportunities for Queensland – both during construction and throughout the operating life of the project.
Indirect Economic Benefits
Improved Environmental Outcomes
