Construction of the $560 million Dundonnell Wind Farm is scheduled to begin by the end this week. Aus Net Services will shortly begin work on the transmission line.
Construction will take about 22 months and the transmission line about 14 months. Dundonnell Wind Farm will be one of the largest in the State and once operational, will employ 10 full-time staff.
The 336MW wind farm will produce enough clean energy each year to power about 245,000 homes and save the emission of roughly 1.3 million tonnes of carbon. This is the equivalent of removing about 440,000 cars from our roads.
It will incorporate 80 turbines with a blade tip height of 189 metres. There will be an onsite quarry and concrete batching plant, with 33kV underground cables between the turbines and 38 kilometres of 220kV overhead transmission line and a new substation.
There are 12 host landholders over about 4500 hectares across the total project site.
