The proposed Dardadine Wind Farm will have a capacity of up to 800MW and at this early stage of planning would include up to 110 wind turbines. Dardadine Wind Farm is expected to generate enough capacity to supply around 460,000 homes. The proposed site extends over approximately 19,000 hectares of rural land predominantly used for grazing and conservation. 

The Dardadine Wind Farm will fit within the current strategic direction of the Western Australia and Australian energy generation market and assist in achieving the planned transition to an increased contribution of renewable energy to Australia’s energy needs. 

The proposal is for a wind energy facility which will consist of the following components: 

• Up to 110 wind turbines (each up to 280m in height), with the associated hard standing areas and access roads
• Operations and maintenance building with associated car parking
• Electrical substations
• Overhead and underground electrical cable reticulation
• Temporary construction facilities including a construction compound, borrow pit and concrete batching plant facilities
• Containerised battery energy storage system.

The design continues to be shaped by a number of detailed, technical, engineering and environmental studies and assessments including:

• Ecology – Flora and Fauna 
• Landscape and Visual 
• Noise 
• Cultural Heritage 
• Bushfire Risk 
• Shadow Flicker and Blade Glint 
• Electromagnetic Interference Studies including TV & radio reception 
• Aviation 
• Access and Transport 
• Geology and Hydrology 
• Socio Economic.
