[62] [63] The offshore wind zone was reduced to 1022 square kilometres from its original size of 1461 square kilometres and was moved further from the coast in response to these concerns. [60] [59] The offshore wind zone is anticipated to host up to 2.9 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity, [64] and will support the large steel plant at Port Kembla.

The largest wind farm is Coopers Gap Wind Farm in Queensland, which began generating to the grid in June 2019, with a capacity of 453 MW. [5] As of December 2019, 50 Coopers Gap Wind Farm's turbines out of the initial 123 were operational. [6] By generating capacity, the ten largest wind farms in Australia are:
The NSW Wind Atlas [1] shows that many of the sites with good potential for wind farms are situated on the western side of the Great Dividing Range. While the wind is also strong in coastal areas, wind farms are unlikely to be built there due to existing residential development and national park areas.
The Illawarra region is characterised by three distinct districts: the north-central district, which is a contiguous urban sprawl centred on Lake Illawarra, the western district defined by the Illawarra escarpment, which leads up to the fringe of Greater Metropolitan Sydney including the Macarthur in the northwest, and to the Southern Highlands ...
Table Top is a small town located approximately 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) north of Albury, and Bowna is a locality about 18 kilometres (11 mi) to the east of Table Top. In the 1950s, the road was diverted a much longer route to the northwest, intersecting with Olympic Highway south of Gerogery, to allow the construction of the Hume Dam .
Wind farm modeling software aims to simulate the behavior of a proposed or existing wind farm, most importantly to calculate its energy production. The user can usually input wind data, height and roughness contour lines, wind turbine specifications, background maps, and define objects that represent environmental restrictions.
