Alinta Energy has announced that it will build a wind farm in West Australia by mid-2020 after appointing Vestas as its engineering, procurement and construction partner.  

The 214 MW Yandin Wind Farm will comprise 51 (4.2 MW) turbines which could power up to 200,000 homes per year and will be located near the town of Dandaragan, around 175km north of Perth. The project is expected to cost approximately AUD400 million (US$286.5 million) and will generate around 150 jobs during construction.  

The wind farm will connect to Western Power’s 330 kV electricity network via a new 10 km transmission line and terminal station that will be built, owned and operated by Western Power. 

  Vestas will operate and maintain the wind farm from completion of construction under a long-term service agreement.
