Development and maintenance

AGL engaged Suzlon to build the Hallett Wind Farms, which were progressively commissioned between 2008 and 2012.

In 2023, AGL transitioned service and maintenance responsibilities from Suzlon and Vestas to an in-house AGL team.

At the peak of development and construction, around 430 people were employed across the wind farms. Currently, 36 permanent roles support their day to day operations.

Community Fund

AGL is committed to supporting the communities where we operate. As a long-term employer and investor in the Mid North of South Australia, we work to make a positive and practical contribution to local communities.

The AGL Hallett Wind Farm Community Fund supports community groups and initiatives in the areas surrounding the Hallett Wind Farms. The fund is designed to be fair and transparent, with a focus on projects that deliver local benefit.

The Community Fund opens once each year and is delivered in partnership with the Regional Council of Goyder and the Northern Areas Council.
