Powerlink and Cubico and Stanwell have signed a connection agreement for the first 252 MW stage of the 500 MW Wambo wind project. The project will be located in the Western Downs region of Queensland, Australia, and is expected to start construction in Q2 of this year, with completion targeted for late 2025. The first stage will consist of 42 Vestas turbines, while the second stage will depend on grid availability and feasibility studies.
The connection agreement between Powerlink and the Wambo wind farm developers includes the construction of a 50 km power line to connect the project to the Halys substation near Kingaroy. The Wambo wind project may also include a 40 MW/200 MWh big battery.
The 500 MW wind park will form the basis of a new renewable energy zone in the Western Downs region of Queensland, Australia.
