The 30 megawatt Cullerin Range Wind Farm is located in the localities of Cullerin and Breadalbane in the Upper Lachlan Shire, New South Wales, Australia. The wind farm was completed in 2009 and cost around $90 million.[1] The owner, Origin Energy, sold the business to Energy Developments, a subsidiary of Duet.[2]
Incidents
[edit]On 5 January 2023, at about 6am, an electrical fire broke out in the generator cabin of one turbine. Local NSW Rural Fire Service firefighters attended the scene, to ensure that burning debris did not cause a fire on the ground. The three blades had been stopped with one vertical and that was consumed by the fire.[3]
