Start of construction with completion estimated in 18 months to two years.

Site office established.

Foundations are now in place for the first of the 75 wind turbines

Construction will shortly commence on the substation that transports the power from the wind farm to the grid. Over 50 workers will be deployed.

Shipment arrives at the Port of Newcastle in New South Wales aboard the vessel Helvetia. The consignment is the first of eight shipments scheduled over the next nine months.

Concrete screeding work at various turbine foundations.

A 150 tonne transformer is on its way, along the New England Highway in Glen Innes to the farm site. Manufactured by Melbourne based Wilson Transformers Company, the transformer is 11 metres long and about 6 metres in height and width.

9,463 meters of underground cables laid by The Wolf Energy since 01 Aug 2017.

Transformer No 2 makes it way to the farm.

Foundation work for tower 50 starts. A typical pour for a foundation takes around 580 cubic metres of concrete according to Patric Millar of CWP Renewables. This translates into the rough equivalent of around 39 average house slabs!

The ACT government announces 28 turbines are in place and operating, and now helping to supply the ACT as part of its 100 per cent renewable electricity target. The ACT-supported part of Sapphire wind farm will power around 48,000 ACT homes – contributing about 12 per cent towards our renewable electricity target.
