South Australia has strengthened its reputation as a renewable energy powerhouse following the award of a major contract to a wind farm in the state’s mid-north.
The 270 MW Hornsdale wind farm under construction about 220 km north of Adelaide has won a contract to deliver an additional 100 MW of power to the Australian Capital Territory.
Developed by leading French company Neoen, in partnership with Megawatt Capital Investments, Hornsdale made its successful bid in the ACT government’s second large-scale wind reverse-auction process. The new contract follows Hornsdale’s success last February when it was also awarded a contract to deliver 100 MW to the ACT as part of the first reverse auction.
