Aula Energy has announced that it has reached financial close for its Carmody’s Hill wind project in South Australia, with construction set to begin in early 2026.
Aula said the Carmody’s Hill project is its second wind project to reach financial close in two consecutive years, following the financial close of the Boulder Creek wind farm in Queensland.
Carmody’s Hill Wind Farm will generate 256.2 megawatts (MW) of wind generation capacity using 42 turbines, delivered via a 12.8km of 275 kilovolt (kV) transmission line connecting into the existing Davenport to Brinkworth 275kV line.
Aula may also add a 123 MW battery energy storage system to the wind farm at a later date.
In November, Aula signed a long-term power purchase agreement with Snowy Hydro for the wind farm.
Snowy Hydro agreed to procure 120MW of clean wind energy annually for a 15-year term.
