About the Project

The proposed Curyo Wind Farm and Battery Project is a renewable energy development located in the Mallee region of rural Victoria, approximately 257km north of Ballarat. This project aims to generate up to 1,000 MW of clean energy through up to 162 wind turbines (subject to approval) and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), ensuring energy stability and reliability. The project is located on farmland and will contribute to Victoria’s ambitious renewable energy goals.

The local community around Curyo plays a crucial role in the region's economy, which is predominantly based on agriculture. The area is known for its broadacre cropping, including wheat, barley, and canola, as well as its commitment to sustainability. The proposed project acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land—the Wotjobaluk, Jaadwa, Jadawadjali, Wergaia, and Jupagulk peoples, collectively known as the Wotjobaluk Nations—and is committed to respectful engagement with these communities.

  • Approximately 300 jobs during construction

  • Removing 3.5 million tonnes of greenhouse emissions annually

  • Generating up to 1000MW of green power

  • Powering 600,000 homes annually

The Curyo Wind Farm and Battery Project brings multiple benefits to the region:

  • Employment: The project will create over 300 jobs during the construction phase and up to 20 permanent roles once operational.

  • Local procurement: Cubico is committed to supporting local businesses through procurement opportunities, ensuring economic benefits are shared with the local community.

  • Community Benefit Fund: A Community Benefit Fund will be co-designed with local stakeholders, ensuring long-term support for community projects and initiatives. The project will also establish a Development Fund, providing annual contributions to the region from the start of Project development.

  • Clean energy generation: The project will generate enough clean energy to power over 600,000 homes, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 3.5 million tonnes, the equivalent of removing 2.32 million cars from the road.

The Curyo Wind Farm and Battery Project represents Cubico’s ongoing commitment to delivering renewable energy solutions that are sustainable, community-focused, and environmentally responsible. By partnering with local communities, Cubico aims to build a long-lasting positive impact in the region.
