Goldwind says it has now achieved a power purchase agreement (PPA) after securing a connection agreement with network operator Powercor Australia in November 2011.

The Western Victoria site is the first to deploy Goldwind's permanent magnet direct-drive turbines (PMDD) turbines, the company says.

The project, which will consist of 13 1.5MW turbines, has been developed due to the support of the Australian government’s renewable energy target (RET), Goldwind Australia’s managing director John Titchen says.
