January 28th, 2026SEC Breaks Ground On Delburn Wind Farm
The state government is helping drive down power bills and delivering local jobs, with early works beginning on the SEC Delburn Wind Farm near the Latrobe Valley.
Minister for the State Electricity Commission Lily D’Ambrosio recently visited the SEC Delburn Wind Farm site, where construction will begin in March ahead of operations starting in 2028.
The 33-turbine wind farm will have a generation capacity of up to 205 megawatts of renewable energy to the electricity grid, enough to power more than 130,000 homes with renewable power. The SEC will hold 100 per cent ownership of the project.
The project will bring significant local economic benefits, including more than 300 local jobs and more than $22 million in neighbour and community benefit sharing programs over its operational life.
The SEC and its partners are inviting local businesses and suppliers to be part of the project, creating opportunities for Gippsland-based companies and workers to support the wind farm’s construction and long-term operations, strengthening the region’s local supply chain.
The Latrobe Valley has a highly skilled local workforce with decades of energy generation expertise and an established transmission network ready to connect renewable energy to the grid.
The SEC is well on track to deliver 4.5 gigawatts of renewable energy and storage by 2035 with more than a gigawatt of projects, including 819 megawatts of solar and battery storage at the SEC Renewable Energy Park in Horsham and the now operational Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub near Melton.
