Tandegin Wind Farm
The proposed Tandegin Wind Farm is located near Merredin, approximately 35km south east of the town centre.
The project will include around 50 wind turbines and connect to the South West Interconnected System (SWIS), which supplies electricity to the south-west of WA.
The site has been selected for its strong wind resource, access to agricultural land with supportive landowners and proximity to existing transmission infrastructure.
