As shared in the Western Australian Government's media release.
Work is powering ahead at the State's biggest wind farm, with four of 30 additional turbines that will contribute to Western Australia becoming a renewable energy powerhouse now erected at the Mid West site.
Construction at the Warradarge Wind Farm marks a major milestone in the Cook Government's renewable energy transition and its plan to build a cleaner, more resilient energy system for Western Australians.
The 30 turbines are being added to the existing wind farm's 51, cementing Warradarge's position as the State's biggest wind farm once the project is complete.
The project is creating strong job opportunities, with more than 120 workers on site at peak construction, including crane operators, electricians, riggers, transport specialists, and project support roles.
The expansion is part of the Cook Government's record investment in renewable generation and storage, which is enabling WA's exit from State-owned coal-fired power by 2030.
To support this growth, the government is also delivering Clean Energy Link North - the largest upgrade to transmission infrastructure in more than a decade.
This major grid enhancement will unlock new capacity in the South West Interconnected System (SWIS) and allow renewable energy from Warradarge and other prospective Mid West projects to flow into the network.
Once completed, the expanded Warradarge Wind Farm will provide up to 283 megawatts of clean energy - enough to power approximately 164,000 households - making it WA's largest wind farm both by capacity and energy generated.
Warradarge Wind Farm is owned by Bright Energy Investments, a joint venture between government-owned Synergy and Potentia Energy.
