Substation energisation started in September, which is the process of allowing electricity to flow through the system and is essential for the wind turbines to start generating power.
Stage One of the Clarke Creek Wind Farm is located 150km north-west of Rockhampton and 150km south of Mackay on the land of the Barada Kabalbara Yetimarala (BKY) peoples.
The project has created more than 350 jobs during construction and is injecting $110 million into the regional economy.
Once operational, the 450MW wind farm will produce enough electricity to power around 330,000 Queensland homes and avoid 738,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
