Hepburn Energy Park

One step closer to our renewable future through community-led climate action

Project details

Hepburn Energy Park (previously known as Hepburn Wind) is Australia’s first community-owned wind project.

The Hepburn Energy Park’s two turbines known as Gale and Gusto have been producing enough clean energy to power 2,100 homes and have become an iconic part of the Hepburn Shire since 2011.

Location: Leonard’s Hill, Victoria
11,000 MWh capacity
4.1 MW of renewable power generated
2,100 homes powered (equivalent)

Project history

The wind turbines are owned by the community through Hepburn Energy. This community energy group co-operative manages the wind turbines, provides financial returns to its members and importantly funds community projects through an Impact Fund.

Hepburn Energy’s founders were determined to build a renewable energy project that would supply the grid with energy equivalent to local electricity demand.

With over $13.3m invested, $9.9 million of which was raised by over 2000 community investors, and an anticipated working life of over 25 years, the project is one of the most significant projects undertaken locally in recent decades.

With immensely significant local community investment, a large proportion of the ongoing profits of the project will remain in the region.
