Wambo Wind Farm

Project Location:

Queensland, Australia

Client Name:

Yurika

Project Description:

Our teams delivered underground electrical reticulation for the 506.2MW Wambo Wind Farm, located near Jandowae in Queensland’s Western Downs region.


The project included trenching, cable installation and associated electrical infrastructure across a 125km² site to connect 83 wind turbines. Delivered across two stages, the project required coordinated construction activities within a live agricultural environment while managing environmental constraints, road and waterway crossings, and ongoing stakeholder requirements.


The completed infrastructure forms a key part of one of Queensland's largest renewable energy developments.

Key Stats:

  • 506.2MW wind farm

  • 83 wind turbines connected

  • 147km of trenching completed

  • 441km of cable installed

  • 125km² project area
