The Forest Wind Farm is a proposed 1,200 megawatt, 226 turbine wind farm development located in the Wide Bay-Burnett region in south-east Queensland.  The wind energy generated will be transmitted via a transmission line from the south-west corner of the project area to Powerlink Queensland's Woolooga Substation, connecting to the National Energy Market.

PROJECT HISTORY
