First turbine of 144 MW Cattle Hill wind park in Tasmania begins operation

The 144 MW Cattle Hill Wind Farm has generated first power, with the first Goldwind turbine connected to the Tasmanian transmission network. The 31 out of 48 Goldwind turbines have been fully installed, with two main cranes now installing on-site. 

When fully operational, the Cattle Hill Wind Farm will generate enough clean energy to power the equivalent of approximately 63,500 Tasmanian homes each year.

Pre-commissioning of turbines has been underway for some time and generation commissioning is now ongoing.
