Client
Goldwind Australia, a subsidiary of Goldwind Science & Technology Company.
Project Description
The GRWF will comprise fifty-six 2.5 MW wind turbines and seventeen 1.5 MW wind turbines, representing a total renewable-energy capacity of 165.5 MW.
Within the first six months of operation, when generating at full power, GRWF will produce enough green energy to offset the amount of energy (carbon dioxide equivalent) that was used to manufacture the turbines.

Duration

The delivery of the components was extended for a further ten weeks in November.
GRWF is on schedule to complete construction work at the site in June.
