The Western Australian (WA) Government has signed agreements to purchase electricity from three planned onshore wind parks, aiming to unlock more than 1 GW of renewable energy capacity (WA press release, 22/03/2026).
The deals, part of a series of long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), involve state-owned Synergy and Water Corporation acquiring renewable energy from major projects.
As part of a series of long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Synergy has agreed to buy renewable energy from the following projects once commissioned:
- Parron Maam Marang park, a proposed 470 MW onshore wind park to be owned and operated by Zephyr Energy (a partnership between Parron Developments and Atmos Renewables) which is expected to provide electricity by late 2028.
- Kondinin Wind park, a proposed 130 MW onshore wind park being developed by Kondinin Energy (a joint venture between Shell Energy and Foresight Group) which is expected to provide electricity by approximately late 2028.
In addition, Water Corporation will procure 330 MW of electricity from the 550 MW Marri Wind onshore wind park once commissioned, developed by Alinta Energy, which is expected to produce electricity in 2029.
“Together, these agreements will provide more than 1 GW of electricity, exceeding our commitment to deliver 810 MW of wind generation to replace the State's coal fired power fleet,” according to the statement.
The Western Australian Government committed to close all state-owned coal-fired power stations by 2030.
