Mount Emerald Wind Farm is a 180 MW wind farm situated on Mount Emerald, approximately 8 km WNW of Tolga, and 49 km SW of Cairns, in Queensland, Australia.[1] The project is a joint venture between Port Bajool (land owner) and RATCH-Australia (wind farm developer and operator). RATCH-Australia bought the project from Transfield Services in July 2011.[2]

Environmental impact


The roads and bases for the turbines caused significant destruction of the formerly untouched wilderness.[3]


Operations


The wind farm registered its first grid output in August 2018 and reached maximum output in January 2019. The network around the wind farm is generally constrained; this has an impact on the total amount of electricity it can generate.[citation needed]
