Wonthaggi wind farm is a wind power station at Wonthaggi in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. It has 6 wind turbines, with a total generating capacity of 12 MW of electricity.

Technical Details

[edit | edit source]

Each of the turbines is a German made Senvion (formerly REpower) MM82 turbines, with a rotor diameter of 82m, and each nacelle sitting on an Australian made[2] 69m tall tower.[3] The farm is operated by eDL Energy Australia, and became operational in December 2005.

Blade Snapping Incident

[edit | edit source]

In March 2012 one of the rotor blades snapped,[4] Senvion (formerly REpower), the manufacturers of the turbine, replaced the blades. The fault was due to a manufacturing defect.[5]
