Atmos Renewables is making significant strides with its 489MW Parron Wind Farm, which has swiftly navigated the federal environmental approvals process. This advancement brings the project closer to its financial close, marking an important step in expanding renewable energy in Western Australia.
Atmos Renewables has teamed up with Parron Developments to deliver this ambitious project, which has also successfully secured state development and EPA approvals. Located north of the Badgingarra National Park, the wind farm will be situated approximately 200 km north of Perth in the northeastern wheatbelt region of Western Australia.
The Parron Wind Farm is planned to include up to 79 wind turbine generators capable of producing a total of 489MW of renewable energy. The project will span around 8,400 hectares of agricultural land, an area known for having some of the best wind capacity factors in the southern hemisphere.
Once operational, the wind farm will connect to the existing 330kV transmission network that runs within the development envelope. This connection is crucial for efficiently delivering the generated power to the grid, enhancing Western Australia’s renewable energy capabilities.
Financial close for the Parron Wind Farm is expected in early 2026, with construction slated to begin later that year. If everything goes according to plan, the project could be operational by the second half of 2028. This timeline indicates a significant commitment to advancing clean energy infrastructure in the region.
The Parron Wind Farm is poised to be a major contributor to Western Australia’s renewable energy landscape. With its strong wind capacity and strategic location, this project not only reflects Atmos Renewables’ dedication to sustainable energy but also promises to provide a substantial boost to the local economy and energy security. As the project progresses, it will be exciting to see how it shapes the future of renewable energy in Australia.
