Lal Lal Wind Farms is a 60 turbine development in Victoria that is contributing strongly to Australia’s renewable energy future.
Once operational, the wind farm will generate enough energy to power 95,000 homes, save 780,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually and help sustain the nation’s renewable energy needs.
Lal Lal Wind Farms is a 228-megawatt development built across 2,100 hectares of land in the Moorabool Shire, occupying sites at Yendon and Elaine near Ballarat.
We use the highest quality materials, operate using best practice processes, invest in the latest technology and attract talented people, resulting in sophisticated and efficient wind energy generation.
Lal Lal Wind Farm (comprising the Elaine and Yendon sites) connect into the National Electricity Grid. This is an interconnected grid that covers Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia.
The National Electricity Grid is supplied with electricity from a large number of geographically and technologically diverse generators including renewable energy and gas and coal-fired power stations. The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) manages the system to ensure that a mix of generators and storage technologies are available to meet electricity demand.
