A massive delivery of wind turbine towers, blades, and other components bound for the 105 megawatt (MW) King Rocks wind farm in Western Australia has arrived at the Port of Bunbury.
Danish wind energy giant Vestas is supplying 17 of its V162-6.2 MW wind turbines to the King Rocks wind farm, following a supply agreement signed in late 2024, and on Tuesday heralded the arrival of a “major delivery” at the Port of Bunbury.
The delivery aboard the AAL Antwerp consisted of 51 turbine blades, 85 tower sections, and 17 hubs, nacelles, and powertrains.
A journey of over 450 kilometres inland is now in store for the components to the project site near Hyden in Western Australia’s wheatbelt region.
Transportation of the turbine blades and components is expected to run through to September, passing through the Shires of Bunbury, Dardanup, Harvey, Collie, West Arthur, Wagin, Dumbleyung, Wickepin, Kulin, and Kondinin.
