The Mount Hopeful Wind Farm, proposed by Neoen, is approved for up to 97 wind turbines with the potential for battery storage. The final project capacity is expected to be around 350 MW (around 60 wind turbines), and will connect into a 275-kilovolt transmission line located near the site.
The project site is located 13 kilometres southeast of Mount Morgan and lies approximately 45 kilometres south of Rockhampton and 65 kilometres west of Gladstone.
