Snowtown II wind farm is located 5km west of Snowtown in South Australia. Developed as an expansion to the 368.7MW Snowtown I wind farm, the $400m project became operational in June 2014. The wind farm is operated by TrustPower.
The 270MW Snowtown II wind farm generates 989GWh of electricity a year, which is sufficient to power 180,000 households, offsetting approximately 700,000t of greenhouse gas emissions a year. It will aid South Australia in achieving its 33% renewable energy target by 2020.
