Ark Energy Cradle Coast wind farm projects

Leading Australian renewable energy developer Ark Energy has been developing renewable energy projects around Australia for 17 years, and currently has three wind farm projects underway in Tasmania’s north-west.

Two Ark Energy projects in the early stages of investigation and development; Guildford Wind Farm and Hellyer Wind Farm, both situated within the Surrey Hills Estate commercial forestry plantation. The area is particularly suitable for wind farm development with a good wind resource, proximity to the transmission network, compatible land use and distance from residential areas.

The Guildford Wind Farm is proposed for a remote area about 7km north-east of Waratah and 15km south of Hampshire. It would involve up to 80 wind turbines with an estimated generating capacity of up to 450 MW. Find out more about Guildford Wind Farm here.

The Hellyer Wind Farm is proposed for an area 5km south-west of Hampshire and 30km south of Burnie. It would involve 48 wind turbines with an estimated generating capacity of up to 300 MW. Find out more about Hellyer Wind Farm here.

These projects will generate considerable employment opportunities and economic benefits for the region during construction, and ongoing jobs during operation.
