The final foundation has been poured at the Rye Park Wind Farm in New South Wales, with 66 concrete foundations poured over the last 10 months set to play host to 6MW wind turbines.
Leading Australian renewable energy developer Tilt Renewables announced on its LinkedIn page that the final foundation had been poured late last week.
Construction partner Zenviron and subcontractors have been pouring foundations since July last year. A total of 66 foundations have now been poured, each of which will play host to a 6MW wind turbine – the largest wind turbine to be used so far in Australia.
The first Vestas V162 6.0MW turbine was installed at Rye Park earlier this year, at which point only 37 of the foundations had been poured. Tilt Renewables expects the wind farm to begin full operations in the middle of 2024. It is contracted to supply power to the Cadia gold mine owned by Newcrest.
Rye Park is one of Australia’s larger wind projects, and the biggest to date in NSW, and reached financial close in the middle of 2021 and began construction later that year, at which point it was also announced that the project would utilise the Vestas V162 6.0MW turbines.
