John Laing has energized and commissioned the first turbines of its 122 MW Granville Harbour wind farm in Tasmania, Australia.
The wind farm, which is expected to become fully operational in the second quarter of 2020, currently has nine turbines installed and will eventually have 31 turbines working to produce 122 megawatts of electricity – enough to power 46,000 homes. The wind farm is a key part of Tasmania’s plan to become 100% reliant on renewable energy by 2022.
