The Albany Grasmere Wind Farm has been generating energy for Western Australia for over 20 years, as well as being an iconic landmark of the Great Southern region. The wind farm produces clean, renewable energy equivalent to 80 per cent of Albany’s annual electricity needs.
While the turbines are continuing to operate effectively there will come a time, as the turbines approach their design life, when they become less economic to maintain. Bright Energy Investment (BEI) has engaged Synergy to investigate the options for the future of the Albany Grasmere Wind Farm.
Environmental and wind studies are underway to determine the impacts and benefits of various options. The results of these preliminary studies will help inform the future wind farm design.
The potential options for the future of the Albany Grasmere Wind Farm are to extend the life of the existing wind turbines or rebuild with newer technology, increasing the generation capacity.
