With the acquisition of Tetris Energy in July, Alinta Energy added a 3.2 GW portfolio of early-stage wind, solar and storage projects across the NEM.

One of those projects, Mount Lambie Wind Farm, is now under assessment by the federal environmental regulator after a scoping report was submitted to the state planning authority in June.

The proposed site, located around 12km from Wallerawang and Portland in the Central Tablelands of NSW within the Lithgow City Council LGA, covers an area of around 2540 hectares on 37 lots consisting of previously cleared land predominantly used for cattle and sheep grazing.

The 20-turbine, 200 MW wind farm will be complimented by 100 MW / 600 MWh of co-located battery storage.

The project is located near existing high-voltage transmission infrastructure, the closed Wallerawang and operational Mt Piper Power Stations, and surrounding coal mines.

Mount Lambie Wind Farm is anticipated to be operational by 2029/30, with up to 150 jobs are expected to be created during construction, with 6 to 8 ongoing roles.

Other former Tetris-developed projects Alinta Energy is actively working on are the 500 MW Ben Bullen Wind Farm in NSW and the 115 MW Mt Challenger Wind Farm in Queensland.

However an article by AltEnergy written in May before the Alinta acquisition highlighted that Tetris had almost 4.2 GW under development, “with a particular focus on wind farms in NSW, Queensland, SA and Victoria”. See the full article with list of projects on AltEnergy’s news website here.
