In Australia, wind energy is primarily used for electricity generation.  Wind
  energy is also used to pump bore water, particularly in rural areas.  There is
  good access to available onshore wind resources and there are currently no
known  plans to develop offshore wind projects in Australia.

Australia has some of the world’s best wind resources along its
  south-western, southern and south eastern margins. More isolated areas of the
  eastern margin also have excellent wind resources.

Wind energy is the fastest growing renewable energy source for electricity
  generation in Australia, although its current share of total Australian primary
  energy consumption is currently around 0.2 per cent.
