Development company RES has been granted planning approval for the 420MW Murra Warra wind farm in Australia.
The $650m project will feature 116 turbines constructed on farmland north of Horsham in the Wimmera district of Victoria.
Construction is expected to take approximately two years to complete, RES said.
RES Australia chief operating officer Matt Rebbeck said: “This is our second big project in Victoria and when it is constructed RES will have brought over $1bn in new renewable energy projects to the state.”
The company added that it is currently two thirds of the way through construction of the 75-turbine Ararat wind farm, which will have capacity of 240MW when complete.
