**Cattle Hill Wind Farm** is a [wind farm](/source/Wind_farm) developed and constructed by [Goldwind Australia](/source/Goldwind_Australia) in [Tasmania](/source/Tasmania), Australia.[1]

The site is located on the eastern shore of [Lake Echo](/source/Lake_Echo_Power_Station) on the southern side of the Central Plateau of Tasmania[2] and connects into [TasNetworks](/source/TasNetworks)'s transmission network at the adjacent [Waddamana](/source/Waddamana_Power_Stations) 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.[3]
