Crows Nest Wind Farm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article or section contains information about a planned or proposed power plant, or power plant under construction. It may contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change as the construction and/or completion of the power plant approaches, and more information becomes available.

The proposed Crows Nest Wind Farm, will be located in south-eastern Queensland, 40 kilometres north of Toowoomba. It will have an installed generating capacity of 124 MW and will produce enough electricity for some 47,000 homes. It is expected that the wind farm will create 460 manufacturing and construction jobs and a further 15 full time maintenance jobs in Crows Nest. The Crows Nest location on the western edge of the Darling Downs, offers some of the best average wind speeds available in Queensland, and the project will provide additional security of electricity supply in this fast growing area.^[1]
