List of wind farms in New South Wales

This is a list of wind farms in New South Wales, Australia.

Wind power in Australia is a growing source of renewable energy.

The wind resource potential in NSW is very good yet this potential has remained largely untapped. As of 2008, only 17 MW of installed wind capacity had been built in the State. [http://www.deus.nsw.gov.au/publications/Wind%20Energy%20-%20A%20Growth%20Industry.pdf Wind Power in New South Wales] ] However, Australia's largest wind farm, the Silverton Wind Farm, is proposed for western NSW.

A NSW Wind Atlas has been prepared and this shows that many of the sites with good potential for wind farms are situated on the western side of the Great Dividing Range. While the wind is also strong in coastal areas, wind farms are unlikely to be built there due to existing residential development and national park areas. NSW also has an extensive electricity transmission network, providing relatively good power grid access for new wind farms.
