ACCIONA Energía's fifth wind farm in Australia Victoria, Australia See on Google Maps
ACCIONA Energía's fifth wind farm in Australia, with 157.5 MW of power and battery storage.

The wind farm was built on cleared open and level land that is predominantly used for dairy farming. The location is highly exposed to consistent winds, making the site ideal for wind powered electricity generation. In 2018, the Mortlake South Wind Farm was successful in the Victorian Renewable Energy Target (VRET) reverse auction. VRET is the Victorian Government’s legislated target aiming for 25% of electricity generation from renewable sources by 2020 and 40% by 2025. The wind farm has been fully operational since July 2024.
