Goldwind Capital has submitted the Milpulling Wind Farm, a 600MW wind project with a co-located 250MW/1,000MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), for federal environmental assessment under Australia’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.
The project is proposed approximately 17km southwest of Gilgandra in New South Wales (NSW), within the Gilgandra Shire Council area. It is located within the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (REZ).
According to the EPBC Act referral, the project will comprise up to 76 wind turbine generators, each with a rated capacity of up to 10MW, with a maximum ground-to-blade-tip height of 300 metres and a rotor diameter of up to 220 metres.
