Yaloak South Wind Farm

This project is under development

Pacific Hydro has lodged a planning application for a wind farm of up to 30MW known as the Yaloak South Wind Farm. The project, which would consist of a maximum of 14 generators, is located in the Moorabool Shire approximately 14km south of Ballan in Victoria.

While this is a relatively small Wind Farm, at this size the project is expected to produce enough emission free electricity to power the equivalent of around 18,000 Victorian homes each year, abating approximately 100,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas annually.
