Coopers Gap Wind Farm Connection Project

Overview

Powerlink was engaged by AGL Energy (AGL) to construct a new 275kV substation as part of the Coopers Gap Wind Farm project, near Cooranga North in the Darling Downs.

At 453MW, Coopers Gap will be the one of Australia’s largest wind farms in Australia once constructed.

Status

Powerlink energised the new Coopers Gap Substation in late 2018.

Energy Minister Dr Anthony Lynham joined AGL to turn the first sod on the almost $850 million Coopers Gap Wind Farm midway between Kingaroy and Dalby​​​​ on 7 February 2018.
