Australia's biggest windfarm, with almost 600 turbines, is to be be built in far western NSW. State Government approval has been given for the project at Silverton, near Broken Hill. It will generate enough electricity for 200,000 homes. NSW had approved 14 windfarms with a total output capacity of 2486 MWs since 2005, Premier Nathan Rees said.
"When all of these windfarms are up and running they will save more than six million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually," he said. "This is the same as taking over one million cars off the road and will have capacity to power approximately 800.000 houses."
