The first shipment of turbine components for the 285 MW Lotus Creek Wind Farm arrived at the Port of Gladstone recently.
The shipment included 39 massive turbine blades, each measuring 79 metres in length, along with other components such as power trains, nacelles and hubs.
The turbine components will be safely stored at the Port of Gladstone in preparation for their transportation to the wind farm site west of St Lawrence mid-year. Construction has been ramping up on site, with the first turbine foundation concrete pour completed last week.
The Lotus Creek Wind Farm will feature 46 Vestas V162-6.2 MW wind turbines and will generate enough electricity to power 170,000 average Queensland homes every year.
