Pylara Wind Farm Investigations
Iberdrola Australia is commencing early-stage feasibility investigations into the potential expansion of wind generation at the Woodlawn Eco-Precinct site. These investigations are being undertaken under the project name Pylara Wind Farm.
The investigation area is located about 6 kilometres west of Tarago in NSW, within Pejar Local Aboriginal Land Council area, and within Goulburn Mulwaree Council and Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council areas.
Feasibility investigations will take place this year. The proposed number of wind turbines and inclusion of battery will be considered during our feasibility investigations.
If considered viable, the development phase of the project is expected to take around 4 to 6 years, prior to construction.

Iberdrola Australia is a long term developer, owner, and operator of renewable energy and firming assets in Australia. Our portfolio includes 21 renewable energy and firming assets totaling more than 2.7 GW of operating capacity.
Iberdrola Australia is commencing a number of early development activities to determine the suitability of the site, including:
✔ First Nations, local community and stakeholder consultation.
✔ Preliminary environmental, social and technical assessments
✔ Wind monitoring though the installation of a lidar and a meteorological mast.
✔ Early preliminary design in consultation with the community and based on avoidance and minimisation strategies.
✔ Preliminary grid assessment studies.
✔ Launching our first round of Community Grants.
Iberdrola Australia will incorporate feedback from the local community and gather ideas on how the project could be refined to minimise potential impacts on the local community, and to unlock social, environmental and economic opportunities.
