Neoen awarded 14-year contract for 100 MW of Goyder South hybrid power project in South Australia

Neoen has been awarded a 14-year contract for the first 100 MW of wind energy from Neoen’s Goyder Renewables Zone located in South Australia after winning the highly competitive process. 

The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is an internationally recognized 100% renewable electricity jurisdiction, focused on reaching net zero emissions by 2045. Under the new contract, the ACT will be supplied from Stage 1 of the Goyder wind farm, part of Neoen’s Goyder Renewables Zone in South Australia. Goyder will leverage the exceptional wind and solar renewable resources of the area and deliver a significant economic boost to the local community. Goyder continues to proceed through its formal development approval process and is expected to commence construction in 2022 for the first stage.

As part of the tender selection process, Neoen has committed to go beyond the base requirements on the tender process and build a battery storage facility with a capacity of at least 50 MW in the nation’s capital to support and stabilize ACT’s electricity grid. The battery will be open to community co-investment, providing residents of the ACT and Capital region with an opportunity to become financial stakeholders in the project.
