Crookwell Wind Farm, located atCrookwell west ofGoulburn,New South Wales, consists of eight 600 kWwind turbines giving a total capacity of 4.8 MW. It was the first grid-connectedwind farm in Australia when built byPacific Power in 1998. It is now owned byTilt Renewables.
The farm was the largest wind farm in Australia when built, with the energy produced bought and on-sold to customers by then energy retailer Great Southern Energy.
Phase two of the Crookwell Wind Farm, planned to have an installed capacity of 92 MW, is under construction since 2009.[1][2] it was officially opened in November 2018.[3][4] In 2017, a modification to the wind farm development was approved, allowing an increase in the hub height from 80m to 95m, blade size from 47 to 64m, rotor diameter from 96 to 130m and blade tip height from 128 to 160m.[5] It is expected to generate 300 GWh of energy per year, at a corresponding capacity factor of 36%.
