The delivery aboard the AAL Antwerp consisted of 51 turbine blades, 85 tower sections, and 17 hubs, nacelles, and powertrains.<\/p>\n
A journey of over 450 kilometres inland is now in store for the components to the project site near Hyden in Western Australia\u2019s wheatbelt region. <\/p>\n
Transportation of the turbine blades and components is expected to run through to September, passing through the Shires of\u00a0Bunbury, Dardanup, Harvey,\u00a0Collie, West Arthur, Wagin, Dumbleyung,\u00a0Wickepin, Kulin, and Kondinin.<\/p>\n

Western Australian energy generator and retailer Synergy, which is developing the project, announced in March<\/a> that it had completed the final concrete pour for the project in preparation of the arrival of turbine components.<\/p>\n Construction is expected to be completed and the project commissioned in 2027.<\/p>\n It is one of a number of new wind projects under construction in W.A., including the 108 MW Waddi wind project, and the extension to the Warradarge project, which half of the 30 new turbines now erected.<\/p>\n State-owned organisations have also signed power purchase deals that will trigger the construction of three new wind projects totalling more than 1 GW of new capacity, including the 470 MW Parron Maam Marang, the 130 MW Kondonin, and the 330 MW Marri wind projects.<\/p>\n If you would like to join more than 29,000 others and get the latest clean energy news delivered straight to your inbox, for free, please\u00a0click here to subscribe to our free daily newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n Joshua S.
