The Snowy Mountains will see change of ownership to a significant business with the acquisition of the Boco Rock Wind Farm by Tilt Renewables.
The Australian developer’s acquisition of the site from EGCO Group marks a new chapter for the renewable energy project near Nimmitabel.
Boco Rock Wind Farm, operational since 2015 with a capacity of 113 MW from 67 turbines, is positioned as a crucial player in the renewable energy landscape of NSW.

With the acquisition, Tilt Renewables intends not only to consolidate its footprint in the region but also to expand its operational fleet to an impressive 1.8GW.
This expansion includes the proposed Stage 2 development, approved by the state department of planning and environment, which will introduce 84MW through 20 additional turbines.
These newer turbines will feature longer blades and taller towers to enhance generation efficiency, reflecting Tilt’s commitment to adopting advanced technology in its operations.
For locals, this acquisition means enhanced economic activity and further embedding renewable energy in the community’s fabric, said Anthony Fowler, CEO of Tilt Renewables.
“We are committed to maintaining and strengthening our relationship with the communities around Boco Rock, ensuring that they share in the benefits of sustainable energy generation.”
Tilt Renewables acquisition is pending regulatory approvals slated for completion by early 2025 at which time the wind farm is poised to play a significant role in Australia’s clean energy transition.
This acquisition underscores Tilt’s strategy to become the leading wind developer and operator not only in the Snowy Mountains region but across Australia.
The company’s long-term vision is to be the partner of choice in the renewable energy sector, aligning with the broader national goals for a sustainable energy future.
