The Project

Gelliondale Wind Farm is a proposed renewable energy facility centred around the district of Gelliondale in south-east Victoria. The site is approximately 7 kilometres south-west of Yarram, 3 kilometres west of Alberton and 8 kilometres east of Welshpool.

Gelliondale Wind Farm will consist of a maximum of 13 wind turbines across 1500 hectares of cleared agricultural land and ancillary infrastructure including an energy storage system and a substation adjacent to an existing 66 kilovolt transmission line that passes through the site. The planning permit application for the project was approved by the Victorian government on 7 May 2026.

The wind farm is planned to have a total capacity of approximately 80 megawatts, generating about 300,000 megawatt hours of renewable energy a year – enough clean electricity to power about 37,000 homes and representing an annual carbon dioxide reduction of some 320,000 tonnes. The project will create up to 85 full-time jobs during peak construction periods and 5 ongoing operational and maintenance positions.

As part of the development process Gelliondale Wind Farm is actively engaging with key stakeholders and the local community and seeking input into the project.
