Codrington Wind Farm is a wind farm on the coast of south-western Victoria, Australia near Yambuk.
Completed in June 2001, the 18.2 MW installation of 14 wind turbines generates 51 GWh annually, for a capital cost of 30 million Australian dollars by Pacific Hydro being the first fully private investment in a wind farm in Australia. When opened it was Australia’s largest wind farm and the first in Victoria. Currently as of September 2008 the number of turbines has been expanded to a total of 34, stretching in both directions along the same stretch of coastline from the original installation of 14 turbines.
