CONSTRUCTION has started on the $220 million Capital Wind Farm near Bungendore. Necessary surveying and geotechnical drills have been completed and workers are ready to build an access road and begin to construct the turbine foundations and meteorological towers. Wind farm owner, Renewable Power Ventures, an offshoot of investment and resources company Babcock and Brown, has asked for more staff to help with construction. They placed advertisements in local newspapers calling for workers to start as soon as possible.
The wind farm will span 10 kilometres from north to south and about six kilometres from east to west when it is complete. There will be 63 turbines at three separate locations - 17 at Groses Hill north-west of Lake George, 29 on Hammonds Hill near Tarago Road and 17 at Ellenden, on the western side of Lake George.
