'''Cattle Hill Wind Farm''' is a [[wind farm]] developed and constructed by [[Goldwind Australia]] in [[Tasmania]], Australia.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211007204904/https://cattlehillwindfarm.com/Cattle Hill Wind Farm] Cattle Hill Wind Farm</ref>
The site is located on the eastern shore of [[Lake Echo Power Station|Lake Echo]] on the southern side of the Central Plateau of Tasmania<ref>[https://www.power-technology.com/projects/cattle-hill-onshore-wind-farm/?cf-view Cattle Hill Wind Farm, Tasmania Region of Australia] Power Technology</ref> and connects into [[TasNetworks]]'s transmission network at the adjacent [[Waddamana Power Stations|Waddamana]] substation.
The facility began construction in 2018 and was completed in 2020 with the installation of 48 Goldwind GW140 3MW turbines, each standing at 170m tall.
The wind farm's output of 144MW is equivalent to the consumption of approximately 63,000 homes.<ref>[https://reneweconomy.com.au/cattle-hill-wind-farm-starts-sending-power-to-the-grid-in-tasmania-41223/ Cattle Hill wind farm starts sending power to the grid in Tasmania] RenewEconomy</ref>
