Ever heard of wind making power? Well, it’s not just flying your kite — it’s about powering homes, towns, and entire cities!

🌱 DP Energy, a global clean energy developer, just revealed a massive plan — a 1.4 gigawatt (GW) onshore wind farm called Windy Plains, right in the heart of Queensland.
📍 Where exactly?
About 40km southeast of Julia Creek, in McKinlay Shire — a region with the perfect combo of strong winds and open space.
🌀 What Makes This Project So Powerful?
🗺️ 197 giant wind turbines, each generating around 7 megawatts (MW)
🔋 A powerful 500MW battery system to store all that clean energy
🌬️ Wind speeds in the area could exceed 8.5 m/s — that’s ideal for constant power
🔌 Close access to the CopperString 2.0 transmission line, which is being built to carry electricity across Queensland’s interior
🔍 Still in the Works
The project isn’t under construction yet. It’s in the feasibility phase, meaning:
✅ Environmental and cultural checks are happening
✅ Talking to Traditional Owners and the local community
✅ Working with government to make sure everything’s done right
🌏 Why It Matters
This isn’t just any wind farm. If it goes ahead:
✔️ It could power hundreds of thousands of homes
✔️ Slash emissions across the region
✔️ Create local jobs in rural Australia
✔️ Help Queensland lead the charge in renewable energy transition
And DP Energy isn't new to this — they’ve got over 4.5GW of clean energy projects in Australia, Ireland, Canada, and the UK.
💬 Thinking About the Future?
If all this talk about wind, batteries, and clean power sounds exciting — that’s because it is! Projects like Windy Plains are shaping Australia’s energy future.
