SOUTH Australia's largest windfarm could be built at Hallett in the state's Mid North. AGL announced yesterday that it was considering plans for the Hallett 4 windfarm, which would be operational by 2011. It would comprise up to 63 turbines with a capacity of 189 megawatts - enough power to supply about 67,000 average homes. SA's existing largest windfarm is Lake Bonney Stage Two, owned by Babcock and Brown Wind Partners, which is scheduled to generate 159MW at full production. AGL said yesterday it would make a final decision on whether to invest in Hallett 4 by late next year with the site to be operational by 2011.
