Boorolong Wind Farm

Project overview
CWP Renewables was acquired by Squadron Energy in late 2022 and all existing CWP Renewables development and operation projects, including the Boorolong Wind Farm project, now fall under the Squadron Energy brand. The Project comprises of approximately 70 wind turbines generators (WTG), battery storage, up to six substations, and associated ancillary and temporary infrastructure. The Project will have an indicative capacity of around 550 megawatts (MW) and will include a centralised battery storage of up to 500 MW/500 megawatt hours (MWh).

Our involvement
EMM has been engaged to deliver the State Significant Development (SSD) scoping report and environmental impact statement (EIS) for the project, including a number of technical specialist assessments. The EMM technical teams are currently delivering a number of environmental surveys to understand the project’s environmental impacts and help minimise or mitigate impacts. Surveys include water resources, traffic impact assessment, social impact assessment, land and soil assessment, air quality and greenhouse gas assessment, and noise and vibration impact assessment. Our cultural heritage team of experts are also assisting Squadron Energy engage with local First Nations stakeholders and has commenced a cultural mapping exercise in the region. This will enable the project team to better understand and consider values significant to the Anaiwan people.
