The Mt Barker Windfarm was commissioned in March of 2011. The project consists of three 800kW E53 Enercon wind turbines are on a hill on a private sheep farm 4 km north of Mt Barker on the western side of Albany Highway. These wind turbines are bigger than those in Esperance but smaller than those in Albany. As Mt Barker is inland, they are on 73m high towers. The project cost was about $8.5 million in total.
