- Neoen's Narrogin Wind Farm construction commences creating 250 jobs in WA
- Project unlocked thanks to government agreement to buy the renewable power
- Completed project to produce enough energy to power almost 100,000 homes
- Project to help build a State of Energy in WA by bringing online more energy from State's world-class wind resource
The Cook Labor Government's efforts to build a State of Energy in Western Australia have been boosted with construction now underway on a major job-creating wind energy project in the Wheatbelt.
Located between Williams and Narrogin, Neoen's Narrogin Wind Farm is expected to create more than 250 jobs at the peak of construction.
The project is underway thanks to a government agreement to purchase power from the completed wind farm and its designation as a Priority Project under the State Development Act 2025.
Once complete, it will be capable of generating 179 megawatts of renewable energy, enough to power nearly 100,000 homes with clean, reliable, and affordable power every year.
Earlier this year, Energy and Decarbonisation Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson directed Synergy to sign Power Purchase Agreements with several developers including Neoen.
Synergy has also entered into agreements with Zephyr Energy for Parron Maam Marang Farm, Kondinin Energy for Kondinin Wind Farm, and Bright Energy Investments for the Warradarge Wind Farm Stage 2.
Together, these four wind farms are expected to provide enough energy to power more than 700,000 homes for a year once complete.
Narrogin Wind Farm is expected to be operating in late 2028.
As stated by Premier Roger Cook:
"My government's priority is keeping Western Australia's economy the strongest in the nation.
"That's why we are securing more affordable, reliable, and locally made energy for the future through renewables backed by batteries and WA gas.
"My government has already designated Neoen's Narrogin Wind Farm a priority project under the State Development Act, supporting our efforts to build a State of Energy in WA and helping deliver a major job-creating project in the Wheatbelt."
As stated by Energy and Decarbonisation Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson:
"I am thrilled work is about to start on Neoen's Narrogin Wind Farm after Synergy agreed to buy its renewable energy.
"Power Purchase Agreements give developers the certainty they need, unlocking investment in renewable energy projects that will benefit the entire State.
"When complete, Narrogin Wind Farm will provide clean, reliable, and affordable renewable energy for nearly 100,000 homes.
"Projects like this are fast tracking the energy transition, creating great local jobs, and realising the Cook Labor Government's vision for WA to become a renewable energy powerhouse."
As stated by Wheatbelt Minister Sabine Winton:
"The Wheatbelt region will play a critical role in Western Australia's renewable energy transition.
"The construction of the Narrogin Wind Farm will unlock new job opportunities for the Southern Wheatbelt and diversify the local economy."
