Proposed Tathra Wind Farm

As part of the State Government’s decarbonisation strategy, Synergy is investigating opportunities to grow its portfolio of renewable generation assets. This includes the feasibility of a wind farm, named Tathra, in the mid-west region, within the Shire of Carnamah. The region exhibits favourable conditions for wind farms due to the quality of the wind resource, complementing other renewable generation sources such as solar.

Wind, geotechnical and environmental studies are underway to determine the feasibility of the proposed wind farm. As part of these studies, a meteorological mast (a lightweight tower 150m high) has been installed to gather wind and other data.
