Who We Are
Winterbourne Wind
Early development of a wind farm project in the Walcha area began in 2004. A project company, WinterbourneWind Pty Ltd, was established to develop the wind farm project. In June 2019, Wind Power Invest (WPI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danish wind energy company Vestas, acquired a majority stake in WWPL. In December 2021, Copenhagen Infrastructure IV, a fund managed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, entered into an agreement with Vestas to acquire Vestas’ shareholding in the Project. Vestas and CIP are progressing the development of the project with the aim of commencing construction late 2024.
