The last of 75 turbines has been installed at the biggest wind project yet built in South Australia which will help edge the state closer to its 2027 target of reaching 100 per cent net renewables.

The 412 megawatt Goyder South wind project, near Burra, is being built by Neoen Australia and is also the largest wind project in its 10 GW of renewable energy projects currently operating, under construction or in development.

The Goyder renewable energy zone is expected to be one of the biggest renewable energy hubs in the world, combining multiple gigawatts of wind, solar and battery storage – with the final capacity likely to depend on the success of new green industries in the state, and its green hydrogen prospects.
