Kiata Wind Farm is a small wind farm located along the Western Highway south east of Nhill. The wind farm is owned by Windlab, the John Laing Group and some local shareholders. The turbines were built by Keppel Prince and assembled at the site by Windlab. It was "officially opened" by Lily D'Ambrosio on Australia Day 2018. According to Kiata Wind Farm director Rob Fisher, the Kiata turbines "are the biggest turbines operating in Australia to date." The ABC reported that some of the local landholders would become part owners "via a community investment model."{{cite news |last=Lamacraft |first=Tim |date=28 March 2016 |title=Kiata wind farm investment option to be offered to nearby landholders |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-03-28/landholders-to-be-offered-stake-in-kiata-wind-farm/7279030 |work=ABC |location=Horsham |access-date=28 June 2018}}
