Crookwell Wind Farm, located at Crookwell west of Goulburn, New South Wales, consists of eight 600 kW wind turbines giving a total capacity of 4.8 MW. It was the first grid-connected wind farm in Australia when built by Pacific Power in 1998. It is now owned by Eraring Energy, and the wind farm currently supplies electricity to Country Energy's "GreenPower" customers.
Phase two of the Crookwell Wind Farm, planned to have an installed capacity of 92 MW, is under construction since 2009.

“The wind of their endurance, driving south,
Flattened your words against your speaking mouth.”
