Moorabool Wind Farm is an operational wind farm located 25 km southeast of Ballarat in Victoria, Australia. The wind farm is in two parts: the northern part has 50 turbines, and the southern part has 54 turbines.[1] By December 2021, all 104 turbines had been put into place. The turbines each measure 169 m to the tip of the blade.
Development and purpose
[edit | edit source]The farm is being developed by Goldwind Australia.[2] When operational, it will be one of three wind farms in Moorabool Shire. The others are Yaloak South Wind Farm and Lal Lal Wind Farm.[3]
When fully operational, the farm will produce up to 312MW of electricity, enough energy to power approximately 228,000 Victorian homes.[4]
The components for the southern section were delivered from the Port of Geelong in a total of 594 oversized loads at a rate of approximately 33 per week from September 2019 to February 2020.[5]
The wind farm commenced partial operation in late 2020. Commissioning was completed in 2022.[2] An integrated battery is being tested to provide grid services.[6]
