Wind Farm Build Begins After Community Opposition
Palmer Wind Farm was first flagged in 2014 and backed by the federal government's Capacity Investment Scheme.
Construction has commenced on the Palmer Wind Farm, over 10 years after its initial proposal, following significant community opposition. Alongside Neoen’s Goyder North Wind Farm, these projects aim to supply a substantial portion of South Australia’s electricity needs. Together, they are projected to power over 500,000 homes and meet one-fifth of the state’s annual electricity demand.
