GE will co-develop what is being billed as Australia’s largest wind farm – the 453MW Coopers Gap – with local power group AGL.

Coopers Gap, 250km north of Brisbane in the state of Queensland, got the green light on Thursday after AGL completed the transfer of the project to the Powering Australian Renewables Fund (PARF).

The A$850m ($675m) wind farm will be developed by AGL along with GE and Catcon, which will provide EPC services to the project, due to be fully operating by mid-2019 when the group says it will be the nation's largest.
