Estimated start of construction with commissioning in early 2019.

12 year offtake agreement signed with Alinta Energy. The agreement includes the purchase of all of the energy along with the Large-scale Renewable Generation Certificates (LGCs) generated by the wind farm.

Western Australia’s Economic Regulation Authority (ERA) grants an electricity generation licence.

Start of construction with completion expected to be in early 2019.

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy awards a contract to Global Wind Service (GWS) to provide a crane and help with turbine installation. Pre-installation work is expected to begin at site by the end of March 2018.

Pre-construction works commence. Over 40 kilometres of access roads will be built to facilitate the delivery and installation of 37 Siemens 3.6MW wind turbines with a rotor diameter of 136 metres and hub height of 85 metres.

Global Wind Service AS (GWS) announces it has installed the first of 37 Siemens Gamesa turbines.

Installation specialists Mammoet announce thay have been awarded work from fellow contractor Deugro to transport turbines for the project.

Turbines make their way to the site.

Western Power crews busy building a new substation and overhead lines to connect it to the grid.
