The Mt Millar Wind Farm (formerly Yabmana), developed by
Wind Prospect in partnership with Novera Energy Ltd, was successfully
sold to an Australian state owned generator, Tarong Energy
Corp. Finalisation of the sale took place in September 2003;
financial close was reached in July 2004; and the project
has begun construction, using 35 Enercon E70 2MW machines.
The Mt Millar Wind Farm was granted provisional planning
approval by the Franklin Harbour District Council in June
2002. The wind farm is to be located on farmland 20kms west
of Cowell and 20kms east of Cleve, on South Australia's Eyre
Peninsula. Once installed, the wind farm will have a capacity
of 70MW. The average annual energy yield from the wind farm
is expected to supply the electricity requirements of around
36,000 average South Australian homes.
The successful development of this site could have only been
carried out with the ongoing commitment and support received
from local landowners and local communities, for which Wind
Prospect is ever grateful!
