The first stage of the Wambo wind farm is expected to begin operations in 2025, with the second stage following in 2026.

The latter will introduce 41 additional turbines – the tallest onshore turbines in Australia.

Cubico’s Australian portfolio includes a 2.5GW pipeline of wind, solar and battery storage projects, complemented by 3GW of early-stage greenfield developments.

The construction of the wind farm will create 200 construction jobs and several permanent positions.

Cubico Australia country head David Smith stated: “This is a significant milestone for the Wambo wind farm, demonstrating the continued progress of the project as we move towards first power.

“Once completed, Wambo will play an important role in enabling Queensland to meet its clean energy generation targets while delivering lasting benefits through job creation, economic growth and our community benefit funds, which have already supported important initiatives in the region.”
