Construction beginning at SEC Delburn Wind Farm

Construction is beginning at the SEC Delburn Wind Farm. Located near the Latrobe Valley, it is Victoria's first publicly owned, utility-scale wind generation project.

SEC acquired the wind farm in December 2025 and once operational in 2028, the project will deliver up to 205 megawatts of renewable electricity – enough to power more than 130,000 homes.

Early works will include construction of site facilities, including offices and amenities for the construction workforce and plantation tree clearing. This follows earlier preliminary works to install five 130,000 litre firefighting water tanks as part of the project’s extensive fire mitigation measures.

The Latrobe Valley has a highly skilled local workforce with decades of energy generation expertise, together with an established transmission network ready to connect renewable energy to the grid.

“The SEC Delburn Wind Farm is an important project for Victoria and will play a critical role in bolstering our electricity network as more coal assets retire in the coming years,” said SEC CEO, Chris Miller.

OSMI Australia, the original project developer, is working with SEC to support the project delivery.

Vestas has been contracted to supply and install the wind farm’s 33 turbines, along with a 30-year service contract once the project is built. Vestas will work with Victorian contractor Delta Group which has an office in Traralgon and employs more than 100 people in the region.

The project is expected to create significant opportunities for local businesses through construction and supply contracts including more than 300 local jobs. It will also deliver more than $22 million in neighbour and community benefit sharing programs.

The project will add to the SEC’s growing portfolio of more than a gigawatt of committed projects to date. This includes 819 megawatts of solar and battery storage at the SEC Renewable Energy Park in Horsham and the Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub near Melton.

“SEC is moving at pace and well on track to achieving its mandate to deliver 4.5 gigawatts of renewable energy and storage by 2035,” Mr Miller said.
