Climate Action & Energy Transition

Hargraves Energy is designed to:

1. Decarbonise the Grid
   By generating up to 300 MW of renewable energy through 44 wind turbines, the project will significantly reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This clean energy will help NSW meet its Energy Security Target under the Electricity Infrastructure Investment Act 2020

2. Support the Central West Orana REZ
   Strategically located within the REZ, Hargraves will feed clean energy into a coordinated, high-capacity hub, delivering reliable and affordable electricity while reducing emissions

Economic Development & Local Benefits

Hargraves Energy is more than a power project—it’s a regional development initiative. It will:

• Create local jobs during construction and operation

• Support local suppliers and contractors

• Enable long-term investment in community infrastructure

Project Status

• Development Stage: Grid connection studies and development approvals underway

• Construction Start (Wind): Targeted for early 2029
