Collgar Wind Farm is located 25km south-east of Merredin in Western Australia and is built over a land envelope of 18,000 hectares. It has 111 Vestas V90 wind turbines with a total power production capacity of 222 megawatts (MW), generating between 630-750 gigawatt hours (GWh) per year.

The wind farm generates and delivers clean, renewable electricity into the SWIS each year, thereby making a major contribution to Western Australia’s greenhouse gas reductions.

At full power, the wind energy created displaces approximately 0.6 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide per year, equivalent to taking approximately 210,000 cars off the road each year or the equivalent carbon reduction of planting nine million trees.

Collgar Wind Farm is wholly owned by the Retail Employees Superannuation Trust (Rest). Rest is one of the largest profit-to-member industry superannuation funds in Australia, with over 1.8 million members and around $66 billion in funds under management (as at 30 June 2021).
