WindVictoriaAustralia

Waubra Wind Farm is a 192 MW wind power station in Victoria, Australia. It is operated by Acciona Energy Australia. Based on reported annual generation of 644 GWh, it can supply roughly 183,942 homes. It ranks #85 of 512 Australia power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 13.7% of Australia's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (38.6% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 37.4°S — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 14% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.

Climate heat-demand index: 45/100 — this site sits in the mid third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.

In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
