Overview
The Narrogin Wind Farm is proposed as a 200 MW renewable energy
project comprising up to 25 wind turbines, near the towns of Narrogin
and WIlliams in Western Australia (WA).
This project will take advantage of some of the best wind resources in
WA to provide affordable and clean electricity. It has the potential to
host a big battery in the future.
WIND
Wind turbines are tall structures that can capture stronger winds at higher altitudes. The turbines can be between 150-295m in height.

Location
The Narrogin Wind Farm Project will be located on freehold land in WA, approximately 7km east of Williams and 10km west of Narrogin.
The project can connect into the state’s South West Interconnected System (SWIS) from an existing 220 kV transmission line near its southern boundary.
Benefits
FOR LOCAL ECONOMY
Regional economic boost during construction period plus a number of ongoing jobs
For the climate
More renewables, contributing to Western Australia’s net zero goal
For your community
Strong benefit-sharing commitments for the project’s lifespan
Project Lifecycle
1
Site Selection
We undertake research & early negotiations with landowners for options to lease or purchase sites that show potential for hosting renewable energy assets.
2
Feasibility
We create preliminary designs & initiate feasibility studies to identify site constraints. We commence early engagement with Traditional Owners, neighbours, local council and the community. We hold community information sessions locally.
3
Planning & Approvals
Extensive studies & surveys are undertaken to create detailed project design before submitting a Development Application (DA) to the West Australian Government. Ongoing community and governmental consultations help refine project plans. We initiate grid connection enquiries.
4
Pre-Construction
If the DA is approved, we conduct a procurement process to appoint a construction contractor. Grid connection agreements & energy contracts get finalised, and our focus shifts to securing financing from lenders. A networking session is held for local jobseekers, suppliers & businesses to discuss upcoming opportunities.
5
Construcution
The site mobilises, local suppliers & jobseekers are appointed, and civil, mechanical & electrical works commence. The project becomes a reality as the construction team builds and commissions the wind asset.
6
Operations
We maintain the asset for at least 25 years to ensure strong energy generation & revenue optimisation. Our community benefit-sharing program begins contributing to local initiatives.
7
Decommissioning or Site Renewal
We decide on whether to continue operations or decommission the site. New construction works or site rehabilitation is undertaken.
News
Neoen’s DA proposal has been very well presented to the council and the
community — there has been a good process.
Ian Miffling
Collie Shire Councillor
Neoen has been contributing to Australia’s energy transition with 100% renewable energy since 2012.
With a balanced portfolio of wind, solar and big battery projects, we are aiming to achieve 10 GW by 2030. We own and operate all of the projects we build (rather than developing them to be sold) and as long-term neighbours we are committed to sharing the benefits with surrounding communities.
This dedication to community and environment has made us a renewable energy developer of choice in Australia.
