About
The Rye Park Wind Farm is an approved $700 million development north of Yass and east of Boorowa, near the township of Rye Park.
Located on a long ridgeline running north-south at right angles to the prevailing wind direction, it provides a reliable source of wind.
The project area spans the Hilltops, Upper Lachlan and Yass Valley local government areas, located 11 km north-east of Yass on predominately stock farming land.
The wind farm would connect to the National Electricity Market via TransGrid’s 330KV Yass to Gullen Range Line via a new 330kV connection substation.
The site has been selected for its exposed windy ridges, cleared grazing land and proximity to the national electricity grid.
