Wind power is currently the cheapest source of large-scale renewable energy. It involves generating electricity from the naturally occurring power of the wind. Wind turbines capture wind energy within the area swept by their blades. The spinning blades drive an electrical generator that produces electricity for export to the grid.

Lal Lal Wind Farms has a generating capacity of around 220 megawatts (MW) and is expected to generate more than 700 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity per annum. By increasing the electricity generated from renewable sources, we are contributing to the Federal and Victorian Governments’ policy ambitions of:

• 50% renewable energy in Victoria by 2030
• The Federal Government’s large-scale renewable energy target aims to achieve 33,000GWh of additional renewable electricity generation by 2020
