The energy map of Australia just got a major redraw. In a landmark moment for the nation's clean energy ambitions, French renewable giant Neoen has officially flipped the switch on Goyder South Stage 1, now crowned South Australia’s largest and most powerful wind farm. This isn't just another project; it's a massive gust of momentum in Australia's race toward a greener future.
Situated near Burra on the traditional lands of the Ngadjuri Nation, this project is a testament to what's possible when vision meets world-class resources.

By the Numbers: A Titan of Clean Energy
So, what does the "largest wind farm" actually look like? Goyder South is a powerhouse of staggering proportions, and its impact will be felt across the state and beyond.
75 Mighty Turbines: These towering structures are technological marvels, strategically placed to capture some of the best wind resources in the country.
1.5 Terawatt-Hours (TWh) Annually: This colossal output is enough to power hundreds of thousands of Australian homes with zero-emission electricity.
A 20% Boost to SA's Wind Power: The project single-handedly increases South Australia’s total wind generation by a massive 20%, solidifying its reputation as the nation’s renewable leader.
Powering More Than Just the Grid: The Big Deals Behind the Blades
A project of this scale doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's built on powerful partnerships that signal a major shift in how Australia’s industries and governments are thinking about energy. Three long-term deals, known as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), lock in Goyder South's future.
Government Goes Green: The ACT Government has secured a 14-year contract, using the clean energy to power its own ambitious 2045 net-zero target. It's a prime example of state and territory collaboration driving the national transition.
Heavy Industry's Clean Pivot: In a game-changing move, mining behemoth BHP will use Goyder South's power for its massive Olympic Dam copper mine. This proves that even the most energy-intensive industries are now banking on renewables for reliable, cost-effective power.
Fuelling Business Growth: A deal with business energy retailer Flow Power ensures that small and large enterprises can also tap into this new source of clean electricity, helping them manage volatile energy costs.
South Australia's Race to 100% Renewables: A Glimpse of the Future
Energy and Mining Minister Tom Koutsantonis rightfully calls this project a magnet for global investment. South Australia is on a lightning-fast track to achieve 100% net renewable generation by 2027—a goal that once seemed impossible.
This progress couldn't be more critical. With ongoing debates across Australia about the energy crisis, grid stability, and the urgent need to phase out ageing coal-fired power stations, projects like Goyder South provide a clear answer. They deliver clean, abundant power and create a more resilient energy system for everyone. And Neoen isn't stopping here—with Goyder North and the Goyder Battery project on the horizon, their total capacity in the state is set to skyrocket past 1.5GW.
From Grid-Scale to Your Rooftop: How You Can Join the Energy Revolution
Watching giants like Neoen and BHP reshape Australia’s energy landscape is inspiring. But the clean energy transition isn't just for corporations and governments—it's for you, too. While Goyder South powers the grid, you have the power to transform your own energy use, cut down on soaring electricity bills, and secure your family's or business's energy independence.
