The wind farm consists of 27 wind turbines with a total generating capacity of 57 MW.[1] It provides enough electricity for up to 33,000 homes and is estimated to avoid the emission of 150,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases each year.[2]
The Clements Gap site was chosen because of its powerful winds, easy construction access, simple grid connection, and strong community support.[3][2]
