Yandin Wind Farm is Western Australia's largest[2][3] wind power station located in Dandaragan, Western Australia.

Construction was completed in late October 2020. It comprises 51 turbines with hub heights of 105m to maximise performance in the site's specific wind conditions. The turbines are Vestas V150 variants with a 4.2 MW capacity resulting in a total generation capacity of 214 MW.[4][5]

Commissioning begun in July[when?] with increasing outputs being exported onto the SWIS grid as capacity (turbines) came online.[6] The wind farm opened in May 2021.[1]

Alinta Energy stated " the wind farm would power the equivalent of approximately 200,000 households across Western Australia each year."[2]
