The Yambuk wind farm is the first stage of Pacific Blue’s four-stage Portland Wind Energy Project (PWEP) in southwest Victoria.

Located next to our Codrington Wind Farm, near Port Fairy, the site was chosen for its ideal wind conditions – its average annual wind speed of 30km/h is perfect for producing clean, non-polluting electricity.

Completed in 2005, the 30MW Yambuk wind farm comprises 20 wind generators that produce enough energy to meet the annual needs of 35,000 homes per annum, with an average electricity generation of 92.6GWh per year. The turbines installed are NEG Micon NM72C wind turbine generators, rated at 1.5MW each, with a maximum hub height of 70m and a maximum blade tip height of 106m.
