The Hunter has long been the energy capital of NSW. As coal-fired power stations age, the region is well placed to continue this tradition and benefit from economic growth through renewable energy generation.

The Bowmans Creek Wind Farm project area is approximately 10 km east of Muswellbrook and involves the Muswellbrook Shire, Singleton and Upper Hunter Shire Council areas. Communities around the site include Hebden, Muscle Creek, McCully’s Gap, Rouchel Brook, Bowmans Creek and Goorangoola.
