Project Description
The project involves the construction of Acciona’s fifth wind farm, in Australia.
The wind farm will have a capacity of 157.5 MW and will be equipped with thirty-five 4.5 MW turbines, with a rotor diameter of 149 m and blades of almost 73 m in length.

The construction phase will create an estimated 100 jobs and about ten jobs will be created when the wind farm comes into operation.
