Global renewable energy developer OX2 to deliver significant wind farm and battery storage projects in regional Western Australia
Located in Dandaragan Shire, about two hours north of Perth, the Dinner Hill Wind Farm will be up to 1.2 GW and deliver clean electricity to the grid, enough to power 763,000 Western Australia homes.
Alongside the wind farm, OX2 is progressing the Harvest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), a co-located energy storage facility with 100 MW capacity designed to store up to four hours of energy. Harvest BESS will enhance grid stability and enable greater integration of renewable generation across the network.
OX2 is committed to genuine community engagement and creating long term tangible benefits for locals. The OX2 team will be in town next week, commencing 24 November, to speak directly with local community members, residents, and Traditional Owners.
“These Western Australia projects demonstrate our long-term commitment to Australia’s renewable energy growth and to delivering sustainable benefits for local communities,” said Stephen Symons, Vice President, OX2 Australia.
“The Dinner Hill Wind Farm and Harvest BESS will contribute to the state’s energy transition and regional economic development through local investment and jobs during construction and operations.”
The two projects are proposed to connect to the South West Interconnected System (SWIS) electricity grid through separate transmission lines within the project area. The Dinner Hill Wind Farm will be connecting to the new Clean Energy Link – North transmission line which the WA Government is upgrading to allow for new generation in the area.
Subject to environmental and heritage approvals and achieving grid connection agreements, Harvest BESS and Dinner Hill Wind Farm are expected to commence operations in 2029 and 2032 respectively.
OX2 entered the Australian market in 2023. OX2’s project development portfolio in Australia consists of over 3 GW of solar, wind, and storage projects in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.
