The proposed Conargo Wind Farm is located around 45km north east of Deniliquin and 10km north east of Conargo, within the NSW South West Renewable Energy Zone.
It will consist of approximately 53 wind turbines and battery energy storage with an expected capacity of 300MW. It is expected to produce enough electricity to power around 198,000 homes and avoid approximately 270,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
According to the scoping report, the project site consists predominantly of freehold land including 19 privately owned lots used for grazing and some cropping.
Power generated would feed into the grid via direct connection to either the existing Transgrid 132kV Deniliquin-Coleambally transmission line or the proposed VNI West transmission line.
