Early works have begun on the SEC Delburn Wind Farm near the Latrobe Valley, with the project set to deliver renewable energy, lower power bills and hundreds of local jobs. The Federal Government confirmed construction will begin in March, following a site visit by minister for the state electricity commission Lily D’Ambrosio. The wind farm is expected to commence operations in 2028. The State Electricity Commission will retain 100 per cent ownership of the wind farm. These include 819 megawatts of solar and battery storage at the SEC Renewable Energy Park in Horsham and the operational Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub near Melton.
