SEC Delburn Wind Farm gears up for construction

Work is underway on SEC’s first wind farm project in preparation for construction to begin in March.

The SEC Delburn Wind Farm is Victoria’s first publicly owned, utility-scale wind generation project, located near the Latrobe Valley, the historical home of Victoria’s electricity system.

SEC announced its acquisition of the wind farm in December 2025, confirming that OSMI Australia will continue on as the project developer 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 homegrown Victorian contractor Delta Group which has an office in Traralgon and employs more than 100 people in the region. Internationally renowned RES has also been brought on to lead construction management services on behalf of SEC.

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.

In February, SEC and its delivery partners will host project construction information sessions in the region for local community members and Gippsland-based businesses to learn more about the construction activities and associated supplier opportunities.

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.

“We’re looking forward to engaging with the Gippsland community on the many exciting work and supplier opportunities that the project will offer.”

Once operational in 2028, the SEC Delburn Wind Farm will deliver up to 205 megawatts of renewable electricity – enough to power more than 130,000 homes.

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,” added Mr Miller.
