A Leighton Holdings GE consortium has been awarded a $130 million contract to build the Mumbida wind farm south east of Geraldton. Subsidiary Leighton Holdings Contractors and global conglomerate GE expect the project, which they said would generate enough power for about 35,000 homes, to be completed by November next year.

Leighton Holdings said also it had appointed Craig van der Laan to the newly created positions of chief risk officer and group general counsel for the Leighton Holdings group.
