Location
Why The Great Southern Area?
The WA Government has identified the Great Southern Region of Western Australia as an area for development of renewable energy because of the excellent wind resource which is critical for achieving low cost energy.
The proposed project area is ideally situated for the construction of wind turbines, and has been highlighted as a place where investment in public infrastructure will take place.
The existing access roads to the area allows for transport of turbine blades, towers, electrical equipment and movement of construction vehicles. The Great Southern area also has access to an existing deep-water sea port for the shipment of turbines to the area.
Vestas is a global leader in wind energy.
We design, manufacture, install and service onshore and offshore wind turbines across the globe. With more than 173 gigawatts (GW) of wind turbines across 88 countries, we have installed more wind power than anyone else.
Active in Australia for more than 30 years, here Vestas has constructed and is operating more than 2,200 turbines across more than 60 wind farms – about 49% of Australia’s installed wind capacity. Employing more than 750 employees across Australia and New Zealand, Vestas is funding the development and design of this wind farm project. We’re committed to supplying the wind turbines, managing project construction, and providing long-term operation and maintenance services for the renewable energy plant.
