Approximately 330MW of wind.
Nyaninyuk Wind Farm is a proposed renewable energy project in Western Victoria. The site is located between Evansford, Clunes and Waubra, at the intersection of Hepburn Shire, Pyrenees Shire and Ballarat City Council. The site is being considered due to its wind resource, compatibility with the existing environment and good road access from Sunraysia Highway. The land is primarily used for agriculture and grazing.
