396 MW Onshore Wind Farm Officially Launched in Australia

Tilt Renewables has celebrated the official opening of the 396 MW wind farm in NSW at Rye Park, north of Yass, Australia.

The wind farm located to the north of Yass and east of Boorowa, on the edge of the Southern Tablelands and the South-West Slopes near the township of Rye Park, consists of  66 V162-6.2 MW wind turbines. The project will have an average annual energy production of 1,188 GWh, equivalent to powering approximately 215,000 homes. It will offset 960,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

More than 55% of Rye Park’s output is provided to Newmont’s Cadia gold mine through a long-term power purchase agreement. The remaining 45% of the energy generated at Rye Park is contracted with Tilt Renewables investor AGL, helping to deliver cleaner, more reliable energy across the grid.
