How much power a wind farm is feeding into our grid depends on a lot of factors, such as the number and size of the turbines and how windy the site is.
Wind farms in Australia today range from the very small – such as the 4.1 megawatt Hepburn Wind Farm with its two turbines, which powers around 2,000 homes – to the large. The 528 MW Stockyard Hill Wind Farm is our largest fully operational wind project, which powers around 425,000 homes.
In total, Australia's wind farms produced 16% of our total electricity in the last year to February 2026. Not bad for machines that use nothing beyond the wind nature blows our way.
