About the Wind Farm
Coppabella Wind Farm, owned by Goldwind Australia, is located in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales (approximately 30km west of Yass). The wind farm will extend approximately 12 kilometres west to east and approximately 10 kilometres north to south along the Coppabella Hills near the towns of Bookham and Binalong. See here for the indicative project layout.
The wind farm was originally a distinct precinct within the larger proposed Yass Valley Wind Farm. The project was renamed Coppabella Wind Farm to reflect the reduction from the original project scope and more accurately represent its geographic location.
The NSW Government has approved the construction and operation of up to 75 wind turbines and related civil and electrical infrastructure. The expected power generated by the current project layout will be 289MW. The operating wind farm is expected to power around 159,000 homes each year.
Coppabella Wind Farm was successful in the competitive tender process run by AEMO for obtaining a Long-Term Energy Service Agreement (LTESA). The LTESA provides the project with a series of options to enter energy offtake contracts with a NSW government entity, at a pre-agreed price. Read our Social Licence Commitments page to learn more about reporting. Construction work will start with initial civil followed by electrical works and then turbine installation.
