Walkaway wind farm is a wind power station at Walkaway, just south of Geraldton, Western Australia.
The Walkaway wind farm is Western Australia's largest renewable energy project and provides 90 megawatts of power into the grid that supplies Perth and the south west. The wind farm has 54 of the world's largest wind turbines.
Each year the wind farm generates energy that would normally produce 400,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases if generated by fossil fuel based methods. This is the equivalent of removing 80,000 cars from the roads.
Electricity produced by the wind farm is purchased mainly by AGL.
