Wind farms in Australia by state: AEMO July 2026

Victoria operates the most wind capacity in the National Electricity Market (NEM): 5,480.9 MW in service across 40 sites, according to AEMO’s NEM Generation Information release of 31 July 2026.¹ Across the five NEM states, AEMO lists 269 wind sites with 133,691.3 MW of reported nameplate capacity, and 12,641.9 MW of that is in service.¹ Western Australia is outside the NEM release.

Most of the listed capacity exists only as publicly announced projects. The operating fleet is less than a tenth of everything AEMO lists.

TL;DR

• Victoria leads on operating wind capacity with 5,480.9 MW in service, almost twice New South Wales (2,826.1 MW). South Australia (2,754.9 MW), Queensland (1,018.5 MW) and Tasmania (561.6 MW) follow.¹
• Rank the states by everything AEMO lists and the order changes: Victoria 43,950.8 MW, New South Wales 42,734.5 MW, Queensland 34,408.8 MW, Tasmania 6,525.3 MW, South Australia 6,071.9 MW.¹
• 9.5% of the NEM’s listed wind capacity is in service. 84.1% carries AEMO’s Publicly Announced status.¹
• South Australia is the most built out, with 45.4% of its listed wind capacity in service. Queensland is the least, at 3.0%, but it has more capacity in commissioning (1,625.4 MW) than in service.¹
• Seventeen sites named as offshore projects hold 32,452.2 MW, all Publicly Announced. Without them, Victoria would rank third on listed capacity.¹
• Queensland lists the most wind capacity in sites not named as offshore.¹

How this ranking was built

Every figure in the state ranking and the site tables comes from one source, AEMO’s NEM Generation Information release of 31 July 2026, under our published research standard.¹

• Source: Australian Energy Market Operator, NEM Generation Information, July 2026, file nem-generation-information-july-2026.xlsx, sheet Generator Information.¹
• Field: reported nameplate capacity, AEMO’s Aggregated Nameplate Capacity (MW AC). The unit is megawatts, alternating current.¹
• Inclusion: every row with Technology Type = Wind, grouped by state.¹
• Merge: generating-unit rows that share a site name and region are summed into one site, leaving 269 sites.¹
• Exclusion: rows with the status Withdrawn.¹
• Status: AEMO’s own classes. In Service is operating capacity. In Commissioning, Committed, Anticipated and Publicly Announced are not yet in service. No wind site in the release carries Announced Withdrawal.¹
• Our arithmetic: the per-state status splits are sums of AEMO’s site figures. Publicly Announced is the state total less every other status. State figures can differ from the NEM total by 0.1 MW because of rounding.

AEMO records these capacities as registry figures. Nameplate capacity is the rating a site is registered at.

Which state has the most wind capacity in service?

Victoria, with 5,480.9 MW in service across 40 sites.¹ The table ranks the five NEM states by that figure and splits the rest of each state’s listed capacity by AEMO status.

Rank	State	Sites (in service)	In service MW (AC)	In commissioning MW	Committed MW	Anticipated MW	Publicly announced MW	Total listed MW (AC)	Share in service

Source: AEMO NEM Generation Information, 31 July 2026; status splits and shares computed from AEMO’s site figures.¹ Victoria’s Committed figure is Delburn Wind Farm, which AEMO marks Committed*. Boco Rock (New South Wales) and Wambo Wind Farm 1 (Queensland) are split across two statuses, as AEMO lists them.

The two rankings answer different questions. On operating capacity, South Australia sits third with 34 sites, because 25 of them are in service. On listed capacity it falls to fifth, since little of its capacity is still to come: 3,317.0 MW not yet in service, against 38,469.9 MW in Victoria and 39,908.4 MW in New South Wales.¹

The largest single sites, by status:

• Largest in service: Golden Plains Wind Farm East, Victoria, 756.4 MW.¹
• Largest in commissioning: MacIntyre Wind Farm, Queensland, 923.4 MW.¹
• Largest listed at any status: Seaspray Off Shore Wind Farm, Victoria, 3,000 MW, Publicly Announced.¹
• Largest not named as offshore: Collinsville Green Energy Hub, Queensland, 2,839.2 MW, Publicly Announced.¹

How much of the planned wind capacity is offshore?

At least 32,452.2 MW across 17 sites, every one of them Publicly Announced.¹ That’s 28.9% of the NEM’s Publicly Announced wind capacity. The count uses a strict rule: a site qualifies only when its AEMO site name contains “Offshore” or “Off Shore”.

State	Sites named offshore	MW (AC)	Status
Victoria	9	19,226	Publicly Announced
New South Wales	7	12,726.2	Publicly Announced
Tasmania	1	500	Publicly Announced
South Australia	0	0	none
Queensland	0	0	none

Source: site names and capacities from AEMO NEM Generation Information, 31 July 2026; sums computed.¹

The rule undercounts. Orsted Gippsland 01 Windfarm (2,820.5 MW) has no offshore label in its site name, although AEMO records its owner as Orsted Offshore Australia 1 Pty Ltd.¹ It isn’t in the total above.

The decision changes when offshore is set aside. Take the named offshore sites out and Victoria lists 24,724.8 MW, New South Wales 30,008.3 MW and Queensland 34,408.8 MW. Victoria’s lead in listed capacity rests on offshore projects that haven’t reached Committed status, while its lead in operating capacity is onshore.

Which wind farms operate and are planned in Victoria?

Victoria has 79 wind sites in the release. Forty are in service, with 5,480.9 MW. The other 39 hold 38,469.9 MW that isn’t in service yet.¹

Golden Plains is the anchor: the eastern stage is the NEM’s largest wind site in service at 756.4 MW, and its western stage (557 MW) is in commissioning.¹ The developer places the project west, south and south-west of Rokewood, about 60 km north-west of Geelong, and quotes an installed capacity of 1,330 MW for the whole project.² Stockyard Hill, the state’s second-largest operating site at 527.6 MW, sits about 150 km west of Melbourne.^1,3 The smallest operating site is Leonards Hill at 4.1 MW.¹

Which wind farms operate and are planned in New South Wales?

New South Wales has 83 wind sites in the release, more than any other state. Twenty are in service, with 2,826.1 MW. The other 63 hold 39,908.4 MW, the largest not-yet-in-service total in the NEM.¹

The operating fleet is made of mid-sized sites. The largest is Rye Park at 396 MW, and no New South Wales wind site is in commissioning.¹ One site is Committed (Uungula, 414 MW) and four are Anticipated, led by Valley of the Winds at 936 MW.¹ Seven offshore-named sites account for 12,726.2 MW of the Publicly Announced total. Bango, which AEMO lists as two sites (Bango 973 at 159 MW and Bango 999 at 84.8 MW), is in the Southern Tablelands.^1,3

Five site names in this state mention a battery (BESS). The figures here are the release’s wind rows only. Battery capacity is a separate question, covered in our ranking of the largest battery storage sites in Australia, which draws on AEMO Generation Information.

Which wind farms operate and are planned in South Australia?

South Australia has 34 wind sites in the release. Twenty-five are in service, with 2,754.9 MW, and the other nine hold 3,317.0 MW.¹ Nearly three in four of its listed sites already operate, the highest share in the NEM.

AEMO lists several South Australian farms as separate stages, which is why the site count runs high for the capacity. Hornsdale appears as three sites (112 MW, 102.4 MW and 102.4 MW), Hallett as four and Lincoln Gap as three, the third of them Publicly Announced.¹ The largest operating site is Snowtown S2 at 270 MW. Few projects wait behind the operating fleet: one Committed site (Carmodys Hill, 256.2 MW), one Anticipated (Goyder North, 600 MW) and seven Publicly Announced, led by Nonowie at 1,015 MW.¹

Which wind farms operate and are planned in Queensland?

Queensland has 53 wind sites in the release. Six are in service, with 1,018.5 MW, and the other 47 hold 33,390.3 MW.¹ That’s the lowest in-service share of any NEM state, at 3.0%.

Queensland’s gap is timing: it has 1,625.4 MW in commissioning across MacIntyre (923.4 MW), Clarke Creek (450 MW) and part of Wambo Wind Farm 1 (252 MW), which is more than its whole operating fleet.¹ Another 754.4 MW is Committed and 2,359.5 MW Anticipated. The largest operating site is Coopers Gap at 452.9 MW. The largest listed site is Collinsville Green Energy Hub at 2,839.2 MW, Publicly Announced. None of Queensland’s sites is named as offshore.¹

Why do other published wind farm figures disagree?

Because they count different things: farms instead of AEMO sites, different size thresholds, different dates and a different geography.

• Stages and sites. AEMO lists many farms as several sites. Beca gives Lincoln Gap as 212 MW; AEMO lists stage 1 (126 MW) and stage 2 (86.4 MW) in service, which sum to 212.4 MW, plus a third stage Publicly Announced.^3,1 Wikipedia gives the Hallett Group as 351 MW; AEMO’s four in-service Hallett sites sum to 350.7 MW.^4,1
• Whole projects against stages. The Golden Plains developer quotes 1,330 MW installed capacity.² AEMO lists the eastern stage at 756.4 MW in service and the western stage at 557 MW in commissioning, 1,313.4 MW together.¹
• Size thresholds. Wikipedia’s list covers farms of more than 50 MW, and RenewEconomy’s map covers projects of 10 MW or above.^4,5 The AEMO release includes sites below both, down to Leonards Hill at 4.1 MW.¹
• Dates. ARENA’s page says there were 94 wind farms in Australia at the end of 2018, delivering nearly 16 GW.⁶ That figure is Australia-wide, eight years old and doesn’t name its field, so it can’t be reconciled with this release. Wikipedia still lists Rye Park and Goyder South 1A and 1B as under construction, and flags itself as incomplete since April 2023.⁴ AEMO records all three as In Service.¹
• Rounding. Beca puts Stockyard Hill at 530 MW and Bango at 244 MW.³ AEMO lists 527.6 MW, and 243.8 MW across the two Bango sites.¹
• Names. RenewEconomy’s map lists a Biala wind farm in New South Wales.⁵ AEMO has no site by that name: it records the Biala Wind Farm units under the site Gullen Range Wind Farm 2, 110.67 MW in service.¹

Beca says around 90 wind farms operate in Australia, with around another 200 planned or under construction.³ AEMO has 95 wind sites in service in the NEM and 174 that aren’t.¹ The numbers look close, but Beca counts farms nationally and AEMO counts NEM sites, so they measure different units.

What the ranking cannot tell you

• Output. Nameplate capacity is a rating. The release carries no generation figure for any site.
• Exact location. The release groups sites by state. Any more precise location given for a farm comes from the developer or a third party.
• Timing and certainty. A Publicly Announced site has no build date in these figures. The status says where AEMO has classified a project, not whether it will be built. AEMO’s status names appear unchanged, and the release doesn’t explain the asterisk on Delburn’s Committed status.
• Change since the last release. The July 2026 figures stand alone here. Glamdring’s ranking of the largest wind farms compares them with April 2026.
• Batteries. Several site names mention a battery (BESS), and one New South Wales site, Hargraves BESS, sits in the wind rows at 407 MW. We’ve kept every figure as AEMO lists it. Battery capacity belongs to the energy storage research field.
• Western Australia. Western Australia is outside the NEM release, so every total here is a NEM total, not a national one.

The next AEMO Generation Information release will move these figures. Subscribe to the Glamdring briefing to get the refreshed state tables.

Frequently asked questions

How many wind farms are there in Australia?

In the NEM, AEMO’s 31 July 2026 release lists 269 wind sites, 95 of them in service.¹ That isn’t a national farm count. Western Australia is outside the NEM release, and AEMO lists some farms as several stages, so the NEM holds fewer farms than sites. Beca puts the national figure at around 90 operating wind farms, with around another 200 planned or under construction.³

What are the largest wind farms in Australia?

In service, the largest are Golden Plains Wind Farm East (756.4 MW), Stockyard Hill (527.6 MW), Coopers Gap (452.9 MW), Macarthur (420 MW) and Rye Park (396 MW), all by AEMO’s reported nameplate capacity at 31 July 2026.¹ MacIntyre in Queensland is larger at 923.4 MW but is still in commissioning. The largest listed project at any status is Seaspray Off Shore Wind Farm in Victoria at 3,000 MW, which is Publicly Announced.¹

Why is Western Australia missing from AEMO’s wind list?

Western Australia is outside the NEM release, though the state has wind farms: Wikipedia lists Collgar (222 MW), Walkaway (90 MW), Emu Downs (80 MW) and Mumbida (55 MW), and RenewEconomy’s map includes Western Australian sites such as Albany and Badgingarra.^4,5 Those figures come from different sources, so they can’t be added to AEMO’s NEM totals on a like-for-like basis.
