The MacIntyre Wind Precinct will encompass MacIntyre Wind Farm (near complete), Herries Range Wind Farm (proposed), Karara Wind Farm turbines (proposed) & Karara Battery (proposed). These key energy projects site within the Goondiwindi, Southern Downs, and Toowoomba regions.
A key benefit of this expansion is the opportunity to create more comprehensive and impactful programs that will benefit the broader community, fostering collaboration among all parties involved in programs such as small grants programs, scholarship programs, First Nations initiatives, and legacy projects.
MacIntyre Wind Farm will be ACCIONA Energía's biggest renewable energy facility and one of the largest onshore wind farms in the world.
The Herries Range Wind Farm is proposed for a site near Karara in southeast Queensland.
The Karara Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project is a significant extension under the MacIntyre Wind Precinct.
ACCIONA Energía is establishing a Community Engagement Committee (CEC) to represent the MacIntyre, Herries Range and Karara Energy Projects (the Project Precinct) during the construction and operations phases of these projects.
The CEC provides a forum for open discussion between ACCIONA Energía, the community and other stakeholders on issues directly relating to the wind farm’s construction activities, operations, and community relations, and to keep the community informed on matters affecting them relating to the Project.
Nominations are open for appointment of community members to the MacIntyre Wind Farm Precinct CEC.
In the spirit of reconciliation, ACCIONA Energía acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
