Stockyard Hill Wind Farm

Students in Renewable Energy

Join SiRE on Tuesday, 26th August, for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of one of Australia’s largest wind farms — Stockyard Hill Wind Farm with Palisade Integrated Management Services (PIMS).

We’ll travel by bus from Parkville (approx. 2 hours) to the sweeping plains of Stockyard Hill, where Operations Manager Samuel Hayes will lead us up close to the towering turbines, walk us through the intricate electrical and control systems that keep them turning, and share the fascinating day-to-day challenges of running a site that powers thousands of homes. We’ll also explore the project’s ecological offsets, seeing firsthand how renewable energy can work in harmony with the natural environment.

This is your chance to see renewable energy in action, connect with industry professionals, and discover what it takes to operate a large-scale wind project. Places are limited to 25 members — don’t miss out!
