The Ceres Project is a wind farm under construction on the York Peninsula, in South Australia. The project includes approximately 600 MW of wind turbine generational capacity, as well as a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line to Adelaide, under Gulf St Vincent, comprising of two 300 MW connections (74 km of marine and terrestrial cable)[1].

Category:Wind farms in South Australia Category:Proposed renewable energy power stations in Australia The application for the project was initially submitted to the state government in the third quarter of 2012[1], and was approved on the 10th of February, 2014[2]. A revised application was submitted to the regulator in 2017, with minor amendments "to allow the utilisation of the most modern wind turbine technology"[3], increasing the maximum tip height to 220 metres, an increase in the maximum rotor diameter to 160 metres, a reduction in the total number of turbines (from 187 to 170, based on increases in the efficiency of turbine technology), and a capping of the output (at 630 MW)[4]. The revised plan was approved by the department on the 9th of April, 2018[5].
