Wind energy
CS Energy has added two wind farm projects to our portfolio to support the continued demand for renewable energy from our large commercial and industrial customers.
Lotus creek wind farm
The Lotus Creek Wind Farm is a 285 megawatt project that is being constructed on privately owned cattle grazing land at Lotus Creek in Central Queensland. The project site is on Barada Barna Country and Barada Kabalbara Yetimarala Country.
A consortium of Vestas and Zenviron is leading equipment supply and construction, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners is helping to deliver the project.
Construction commenced in November 2024 and the project is expected to be operational in 2027. When completed, the wind farm will generate enough electricity to power 170,000 average Queensland homes per year.
A community benefit fund has been established for the life of the project to be used for local improvement and benefit initiatives.
For more information, watch the construction update below or visit the Lotus Creek Wind Farm website.
Boulder Creek Wind Farm
The Boulder Creek Wind Farm is being constructed approximately 40 km south-west of Rockhampton on the ranges between Mount Morgan and Westwood.
The wind farm is co-owned by CS Energy and Aula Energy and will consist of 38 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 228 MW. When completed, it will generate clean energy to power the equivalent of over 85,000 Australian homes.
The project is being developed on pastoral land that is predominantly used for cattle grazing that will continue during the construction and operations phases of the wind farm. The traditional owners are the Darumbal and Gangulu peoples.
The project has established a Community Benefit Fund to support local initiatives with environmental, social, and net-zero objectives.
