Lal Lal Wind Farm is an operating wind farm under southeast of Ballarat in Victoria, Australia. The wind farm has two sections about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) apart. There are 38 turbines two kilometres east of Yendon and a further 22 turbines two kilometres north of Elaine.[1]

The project was developed by WestWind Energy. The proposal was bought by Macquarie Capital in 2017, and financing was completed by onselling 40% to each of Northleaf Capital Partners and InfraRed Capital with Macquarie retaining the other 20%. Renewable Energy Systems is contracted to manage the build and first five years of operation. Construction is done by Zenviron and Vestas.[2]

During the construction phase, one of the operating wind turbines was damaged on 15 September 2019 by a lightning strike during a storm. A direct hit resulted in one blade of a turbine being destroyed and falling to the ground. no other damage was reported.[3]

During 2023 the project ownership changed to Igneo Infrastructure Partners (60%) and Northleaf Capital Partners (40%).[4][5]
