Marmadua Energy Park

About The Project

The Marmadua Energy Park is a proposed renewable energy project located north of Kumbarilla State Forest, about 22 km from Tara and 37 km from Dalby, in the Western Downs Regional Council local government area.

The Project, with an installed wind capacity of up to 700 MW, will look to connect to the grid via the Braemar to Bulli Creek 330 kV transmission lines. These transmission lines already traverse the project site, meaning new overhead transmission lines are not needed.

Construction of the project is anticipated to commence in 2027 and take approximately 24 months to complete. Once built, the project will generate clean energy for 35 years.

Project Status

Cubico has been studying the wind resource at the site since early 2023.

Cubico is working with landowners, Traditional Owners and the Western Downs Regional Council to install a Met Mast (wind monitoring device) to further our wind monitoring.

The project has commenced environmental studies including ecology and bird surveys. These early studies show that the site has limited native vegetation. Detailed studies will continue to be undertaken and incorporated into planning and environmental approvals applications and project design.
