Gullen Range Wind Farm

Gullen Range Wind Farm is an operational wind farm in the Southern Tablelands of NSW, Australia. It is owned by New Gullen Range Wind Farm Pty Ltd (NGRWF). The wind farm consists of 73 turbines and produces 165.5MW of renewable power in ideal wind conditions.

On an average day it produces enough energy to power in excess of 70,000 average homes. By the end of 2022, Gullen Range Wind Farm had saved 3 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional power generation.

Stretching from north to south, the wind farm measures 22km, approximately centred on the locality of Bannister, 11km South of Crookwell and 32km north west of Goulburn.

BJCE Australia is proud to be a founding signatory of the Clean Energy Council’s Best Practice Charter for Renewable Energy Developments. The charter is a voluntary set of commitments to reflect our promise to develop and operate projects in a socially responsible way. The charter can be downloaded here.

News Item: 04/05/2026: Gullen Range Wind and Solar Farm honours Anzac Day at Grabben Gullen service

Gullen Range Wind & Solar Farm Site Manager Andrew Sinclair attended the 2026 Anzac Day service in Grabben Gullen, laying a wreath on behalf of the wind and solar farms to honour the service and sacrifice of Australian and New Zealand defence personnel.
The service provided an opportunity for the community to come together in reflection and remembrance. Andrew said it was a privilege to represent the wind and solar farms and to take part in an occasion that holds deep meaning for many local families.
“It’s important we pause to remember the courage and sacrifice of the Anzacs, and to acknowledge the service of today’s defence personnel,” Andrew said. “Laying a wreath on behalf of the wind and solar farms is a small way we can show our respect and support for the communities we’re part of.”
Gullen Range Wind & Solar Farm is proud to support local commemorations and to stand with the surrounding community on Anzac Day.

News Item: 05/03/2026: Generator replacement works at Gullen Range Wind Farm

We would like to advise that six of our 1.5MW turbines at Gullen Range Wind Farm will soon be undergoing a generator replacement. These works will result in some increased activity at the turbines, including crane works. 

The generators undergoing replacements during this maintenance program are located at BAN20, BAN21, GUR3, GUR5, POM11 and POM14.
The replacement generators have already been delivered to site. We currently anticipate that works will begin on 10 March, commencing with BAN20, with the installation expected to take just over one week to complete per turbine (weather permitting). Ahead of the installation itself, residents may notice a number of heavy machinery vehicles, including a main crane, being transported to site.

We expect that impacts to the community, including local roads, will be limited. We thank residents for their patience as we undertake this important maintenance work to ensure that the wind farm is operating optimally.
