Power Energy, the joint venture between Enel and the Japanese Inpex, adds another piece to its growth plan in AustraliaThe company announced the completion of the construction works of the Warradarge Wind Farm, approximately 260 km north of Perth. Following the completion of testing of the newly installed turbines, thanks to the 81 wind turbines supplied by Vestas and a total installed capacity that he will achieve the 283 MW, the wind farm will become the largest in Western Australia, capable of supplying green energy to approximately 164 thousand families every year.
With the first 180 MW of capacity coming online at the end of 2020, Warradarge supplies renewable energy to the South West Interconnected System (SWIS), Western Australia's main artery. The park's expansion represents one of the most significant projects in Potentia Energy's Australian portfolio, which boasts approximately 900 MW of commercially operating capacity, another 226 MW under construction, and a pipeline of an additional 9 GW. This growth is supported by a 3 billion investment plan of Australian dollars (almost 1,9 billion euros) expected between 2024 and 2032.
The plant is owned by Bright Energy Investments (EIB), of which Potentia has held a majority stake since April 2025: the other shareholder is Synergy Red, a utility owned by the Western Australian government, demonstrating the strategic importance of the project. Previously known as Enel Green Power Australia, Potentia Energy was established in 2023 after Enel and Inpex decided to join forces to accelerate the energy transition In Australia, a mature market with high regulatory, political, macroeconomic, and currency stability. In April 2025, Potentia Energy finalized the acquisition of controlling interests in a portfolio of over 1 GW of renewable assets, including both operating and advanced-stage development plants.
