Biala Wind Farm

Biala Wind Farm is a 31-turbine wind farm located approximately 6km south of Grabben Gullen on Grabben Gullen Road, 8km east of Biala and 14.5km southwest of Crookwell in the Southern Tablelands of NSW. The wind farm is 100% owned by BJCE Australia, which owns the nearby 73 turbine Gullen Range Wind Farm and 10MW Gullen Solar Farm.

Biala Wind Farm has an installed capacity of approximately 110MW producing enough electricity for around 46,000 typical homes on an average day of wind.

Construction started in August 2019 with the first clean power generated in 2020.

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: 05/08/2026: Annual Science and Engineering Challenge inspires local innovators

Students from across the Southern Tablelands put their STEM skills to the test at the National Science and Engineering Challenge in Goulburn on 31 July, with Biala Wind Farm proudly supporting the event for the third consecutive year. 

The annual event brought together Year 9 and 10 students for a series of hands-on engineering challenges designed to inspire the next generation of innovators. Teams tackled activities ranging from renewable energy design to complex construction tasks, applying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) principles in a fun and competitive environment. 

One of the most popular challenges of the day saw students design and build miniature wind turbines, competing to achieve the greatest speed and energy output. Biala Wind Farm Site Manager Andrew Sinclair was on hand to support participants, sharing practical insights from the renewable energy industry and encouraging students to think critically about efficiency and design. 

The competition culminated in a bridge-building challenge, where students were tasked with engineering the strongest structure possible using limited materials, including paddle pop sticks. After a day of fierce competition and impressive ingenuity, Trinity Catholic College claimed the overall champion title and will now progress to the NSW Finals to compete against teams from across the state. 

As a long-time supporter of local schools and STEM initiatives, Biala Wind Farm is committed to inspiring the next generation of engineers, scientists and renewable energy professionals. By supporting programs like the Science and Engineering Challenge, the wind farm aims to encourage local students to explore the exciting career opportunities available in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, including within Australia’s growing renewable energy sector. 

Congratulations to all participating students, and best of luck to Trinity Catholic College at the NSW Finals. 

 

 

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

Biala Wind 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.”
Biala Wind Farm are proud to support local commemorations and to stand with the surrounding community on Anzac Day.
