Overview
We had been engaged by WestWind Energy and TagEnergy to connect the first and second stage of the Golden Plains Wind Farm to the electricity grid.
We designed, built, own and operate the transmission assets for the wind farm.
Stage one and two has been completed. The Golden Plains Wind Farm has a capacity of 1,330 megawatts (MW), enough to power more than 750,000 homes a year, or every home in regional Victoria.
For more information, visit the Golden Plains Wind Farm website.
What we did
- Built the new Golden Plains Terminal Station to support Stage 1 and Stage 2.
- Built the new Cressy Terminal Station, including two 500/220 kilovolt (kV) transformers. The transformer converts electricity from 220kV to 500kV.
- Built a new 5-kilometre, 220 kV transmission line to connect the new Golden Plains Terminal Station.
- Undertook remote-end interface works on the existing 500 kV network.
- Connected the existing 500 kV network into the new Cressy Terminal Station.
