The power transformer was en route to Tarrone from Korea and took about eight hours to move from Geelong Port, in what was a massive task for local movers Tutt Bryant Heavy Lift and Shift. Weighing 580 tonne-about the weight of 100 elephants-and measuring the length of a footy field, the transformer will convert power generated from the wind turbines at the Macarthur wind farm.The $1 billion renewable energy project at Macarthur was announced in 2010 by AGL Energy and Meridian Energy energy companies. It is expected to be the largest wind farm in the southern hemisphere when it's completed next year. Macarthur wind farm project manager Jeff Trompf said this phase of the project was a "significant milestone". "We are still taking daily escorted deliveries of tower sections, wind turbine blades and nacelles and the project is still on schedule", Mr Trompf said. He thanked the community for its patience during the massive construction.
