The Queensland government has announced $766 million in funding for a major wind farm as Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk foreshadows “the biggest energy announcement” in the state’s history.

Billed as Australia’s largest publicly-owned wind farm, the project in the South Burnett, northwest of Brisbane, will include up to 150 turbines and potentially generate enough electricity to power 230,000 homes.
