The Granville Harbour wind farm in Tasmania, Australia, is nearing completion with 106MW of electricity from the 112MW project now being exported to the grid.
The final two Vestas V126-3.6MW turbines will be installed in the coming months, the developers said.
Testing and commissioning work is ongoing in readiness for the wind farm reaching full generation capacity, they said.
Site rehabilitation works are progressing well including returning the onsite quarry to pasture for cattle grazing, they added.
Other work taking place includes demobilisation of construction equipment and onboarding of permanent service and maintenance employees.
Hydro Tasmania signed an agreement in September 2017 to buy the output from the wind farm.
Granville Harbour is being developed and constructed by Palisade Investment Partners, an independent Australian-based infrastructure manager with experience in clean energy projects.
The project is being financed by Palisade’s Renewable Energy Fund (50.2%) and international infrastructure investor John Laing (49.8%).
Granville Harbour Operations manage the project on behalf of Palisade Investment Partners.
