Musselroe Wind Farm provides fresh energy for local economy

摘要

The 168MW Musselroe Wind Farm in Tasmania's north-east is now generating enough energy to supply the needs of up to 50,000 homes, equivalent to the residential power needs of Burnie and Devonport combined. After beginning construction in December 2011, the $394 million wind farm was officially opened by Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings on January 15, with Hydro Tasmania chairman David Crean saying the farm adds considerable value to the state's generation portfolio.
