The Willogaleche Wind Farm is a wind farm under construction in the vicinity of Hallett in the Mid North region of South Australia. It is proposed to generate 119 MW of electricity when commissioned in late 2018. There will be 32 turbines in the wind farm. The closest to the town of Hallett will be 3.2km west of the town, and the furthest will be 8.3km southwest of the town.[1]
