Palmer Wind Farm — Tilt Renewables

The Palmer Wind Farm would help reduce Australia’s carbon footprint by generating up to 288MW of clean energy when constructed. That’s enough to power up to 144,000 South Australian homes. The project will also bring investment and benefits focused on the surrounding community.

Recent advances in turbine technology mean we can significantly reduce the Project area with fewer, taller turbines and bigger setbacks from existing dwellings. This change would more than halve the number of turbines required and reduce the Project area by over 5,000 hectares.

Project Overview

Project Status: In Development
Maximum capacity: 300 MW (proposed)
Turbines: Up to 103 turbines (approved)
Blade Tip Height: Up to 165m (approved)
Location: Palmer, South Australia

The Palmer Wind Farm would be built near Palmer and Tungkillo, approximately 50 kilometres east of Adelaide.

While the Project already has planning approval, following further consultation with our neighbours, we are proposing to change the design to reduce the maximum number of turbines from 103 to 40. These fewer, larger turbines could generate a similar level of clean renewable energy while allowing bigger setbacks from existing dwellings and townships.

Reducing the number of turbines would also shrink the project area by more than 5,000 hectares and significantly reduce the potential impacts of the approved Palmer Wind Farm.

Community feedback will form an important input to the design and planning for any update to the approved Project and we continue to engage closely with our neighbours and host landholders.
