The final Transmission Connection Agreement (TCA) for Neoen’s Goyder South Stage 1 wind farm has now been achieved. This follows the initial TCA for the site which was executed in October 2022.
The project, which is part of Neoen’s Goyder Renewables Zone, will connect to ElectraNet’s 275kV substation at Robertstown. Once completed, it will be the largest wind farm in South Australia.
Construction activities commenced late last year, with construction completion for ElectraNet assets targeted for mid-2023.
ElectraNet Project Manager, Hasan Fayyaz said, “This is a significant step forward in the construction of the largest wind farm in South Australia and brings us one step closer to delivering clean, sustainable energy to the grid.”
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the entire project team, including our partners, contractors, and stakeholders, who have worked tirelessly to achieve this milestone. Their commitment, expertise, and hard work have been instrumental in making this possible.”
“There is a lot of construction work to be done, but we remain focused and committed to ensuring the timely and successful completion of the Goyder South Stage 1. We are confident that with continued collaboration and dedication, we will deliver a world-class wind farm that will benefit the environment, the economy, and the community for years to come,” Hasan said.
Tom Jenkins, Neoen’s SA State Leader said, “South Australia continues to lead the country in successfully integrating and managing renewable energy within the grid. We thank ElectraNet for its active and longstanding partnership, which has allowed us to continue to develop pioneering and much-needed projects such as the Hornsdale Wind Farm, Hornsdale Power Reserve and, most recently, the Blyth Battery and the Goyder Renewables Zone.”
ElectraNet Manager Customer Connections, Niketan Tyagi said, “We continue to have a strong relationship with Neoen and it’s great to see this collaborative effort helping South Australia reach its net 100 per cent renewables target.”
