The Silverton Wind Farm is a 199-megawatt wind farm situated on the southern end of the Barrier Ranges in New South Wales, north of Silverton, built for AGL Energy by Catcon and General Electric. Planning began around 2007, and the wind farm was finally fully commissioned in May 2020, following some setbacks due to grid issues after initial implementation in 2018.
