The Mumbida wind farm is a 50-50 partnership between Verve Energy, a Western Australia government-owned utility, and Macquarie Capital.

The wind farm will generate 55MW of renewable electricity for the South West Interconnected System, which the partnership estimates to be enough energy to power nearly 35,000 homes and offset about 165,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year.

In addition to supplying the wind turbines for the Mumbida Wind Farm, GE will provide a full range of maintenance services for ten years.

The company said the Mumbida wind farm will support the Western Australian government’s Energy 2031 Strategy that is designed to meet the state’s rapidly growing energy requirements with clean, reliable power.
