King Rocks Wind Farm
Location: Hyden, Shire of Kondinin
Stage: Construction
About the project
The King Rocks Wind Farm will generate up to 105 megawatts of renewable energy from 17 turbines installed across the 3,000 hectare site. These turbines will be around 206 metres tall at the tip of the blade, comprising a 115 metre tower and 80 metres blade. The site was selected due to its proximity to Western Power’s electricity transmission lines, strong overnight wind and access to predominantly cleared, freehold agricultural land which is well suited to a wind farm development.
The project is expected to take approximately two years to construct. Up to 200 jobs will be created during construction of the wind farm and where practicable the construction partner, Vestas, will seek to engage locally.
Wind turbine infrastructure, including the 80 metre blades, will be transported by road from Bunbury Port to the wind farm site. Measures will be put in place to minimise disruption to road traffic. More details will be communicated closer to the date.
Overview
Hyden is at the forefront of the energy transition with the King Rocks Wind Farm expected to begin powering households and businesses by 2027. The wind farm will have the capacity to generate up to 105 megawatts of renewable energy. That’s enough capacity to power up to 70,000 average homes in WA.

Construction Progress
Construction of the King Rocks Wind Farm has commenced. A meteorological mast (met mast) has been installed on the wind farm site. The met mast will remain for the duration of the wind farm’s operations, and is used to measure wind direction and speed.
We are pleased to share that the final concrete pour was completed on the 17th wind turbine foundation on Friday 13 March 2026. Work continues on the substation at the wind farm site, with the construction of the foundation and earthing in progress.
Hyden Worker’s Accommodation
The accommodation facility is approximately 800m north of the Hyden town centre and is housing 189 workers during the wind farm’s construction phase.
