Stockyard Hill Wind Farm is a wind farm project being developed by Origin Energy. The proposed facility will have 157 wind turbines at a site approximately 35 km west of Ballarat between Beufort and Skipton.[1] The forecast cost is $900 million ($950 million US dollars)[2] In December 2009, the original plan for 242 turbines, the plan was changed to only have 157 turbines. The Victorian minister of planning approved the 157 turbines, in October 2010.[3] In 2013 Origin contemplated the idea of selling the project before they began production, later in 2013 they changed their mind and are still continuing with production.[4]
