Bango Wind Farm is a wind farm under construction in the Australian state of New South Wales. It is being developed by CWP Renewables between the towns of Yass and Boorowa.[1] Construction began in August 2019.[2]22 of the turbines have been erected and 10 of those are fully operational. [3] It is expected to be completed late in 2021.[4]
The wind farm consists of 46 wind turbines. They are GE turbines which generate up to 5.3 MW each, for a total rated capacity of 244 MW.[4] The wind farm has an offtake agreement with Snowy Hydro for 100MW of its generation.[2] It has another agreement to supply electricity to Woolworths to supply over 100 supermarkets.[5]
The tower for each wind turbine is 120.9 metres (397 feet) high. It is delivered and constructed in five sections. Once constructed, it has both a ladder and a lift from the entrance door to the nacelle.[5]
