About The Project
The Elphinstone wind Farm is a proposed renewable energy project located near Elphinstone QLD, approximately 45km west of Nebo. The proposed wind farm is situated on the lands of the Barada Barna people and the Widi People of the Nebo Estate #2, as the traditional custodians of the lands and waterways of the project region. The project is entirely located within the Isaac Regional Council land area.
Greenleaf Renewables commenced development through host landholder engagement and wind monitoring in late 2023, and more recently expanded our assessment to include pre feasibility studies throughout 2024. We have continued gathering onsite wind data and are planning ecology surveys to inform a project layout. We anticipate the project will consist of up to 140 wind turbines and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) as well as ancillary infrastructure
