The Victoria state government announced amended permit had been approved - size of turbines have been upgraded with the height now 189 m, up from 164 m in the original permit.

The project becomes 1 of 6 developments within Victoria to be awarded a supply agreement through Victorian Renewable Energy Auction Scheme. The support agreement with the Victorian Government consists of a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) at a regulated tariff.

Tilt Renewables appoints Entura to undertake design review and construction monitoring services for the wind farm and balance of plant, transmission line and a new terminal station.

Project achieves financial close.

Vestas appointed as EPC contractor with construction commencement now anticipated in early 2019 and commercial operation scheduled for the third quarter of 2020.

Tilt Renewables announces start of construction with AusNet Services to begin work on the transmission line.

Tilt Renewables successfully secures $12.7 million from retail investors, completing the $263 million capital raising it required to fund the wind farm.

First turbine installed.

11 turbines constructed with a further two nearing completion. Another 16 turbines are currently under construction with installation of the bottom two of five tower sections complete. 56 turbine foundations have been poured, 16 more excavations are complete and steel fixing is under way at multiple locations.

More than 44 kilometres of access track has been completed and 36.2 kilometres of cable trenched and backfilled. The transmission line and new 500/200kV Blue Gums substation were also recently completed. Pre-energisation testing is under way ahead of the commencement of turbine commissioning.

Project begins production and starts feeding into the grid.

Project secures a 10-year power purchase agreement with supermarket giant Aldi Stores Australia for 6% of its output. The PPA is due to start in 2021.

Project is fully operational and feeding into the national grid. Clean Energy Regulator announces accredition of the project.
