About
Crowlands Wind Farm is located in Western Victoria’s Pyrenees Shire Council, 25km north-east of Ararat (205km west of Melbourne). The site was identified as an area highly suitable for efficiently capturing energy from the wind.
After a long period of consultation with the local community that began in 2004, the project was granted planning approval in August 2010. Following pre-construction assessments, consultations and reviews, the layout for the project has been refined and subsequently reduced. Development approval to construct and operate a wind energy facility at Crowlands was granted to Pacific Blue in 2013.
Crowlands Wind Farm consists of 39 turbines that produce clean energy equivalent to the yearly needs of around 50,000 Victorian homes. The turbines are Senvion MM92 wind turbine generators, rated at 2.05MW each, with a maximum hub height of 100m and a maximum blade tip height of 146.5m.
