About Pottinger Energy Park
The Pottinger Energy Park project is named after the Pottinger family – one of the first families to install and maintain windmills in the region. This adoption of wind power in the early 1900s helped to develop a thriving local agriculture industry and the Pottinger Energy Park seeks to build on that legacy to create a prosperous future for the region.
Once completed, the Pottinger Energy Park will generate up to 1,200MW of clean, affordable and reliable energy – enough to power up to 830,000 Australian homes.
The Pottinger Energy Park project will operate up to 220 wind turbines and 300MW of solar supported by an advanced battery storage facility in NSW's South West Renewable Energy Zone.
Community and stakeholder feedback
AGL and Someva are engaging with the local community, Traditional Custodians, State and Federal governments, residents and business owners in the region around the Project.
We are committed to implementing a tailored community co-design process to ensure communities share in and benefit from the Pottinger Energy Park project. This involves listening to and genuinely engaging with the local community to ensure the project delivers tailored economic, social, and environmental benefits.
