WIND turbines which generate enough power for up to 25,000 homes have been connected to the electricity network on Eyre Peninsula. The $200 million Cathedral Rocks Wind Farm, 30km west of Port Lincoln, is now producing 66 megawatts of electricity.
Construction of the 33 turbines began in late 2004 and the switch to the network was officially flicked yesterday. The wind farm, developed by Roaring 40s and Chilean firm Acciona Energy, will save 200,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year. Power will be supplied through TRUEnergy.
