Clements Gap Wind Farm Official Opening

Clements Gap Wind Farm was officially opened by South Australian Premier Mike Rann on February 18, 2010.

The 56.7MW project is Pacific Hydro's first in South Australia and was made possible thanks to proactive state government policies, strong support from the Port Pirie Regional Council and an enthusiastic community.

Located in South Australia's mid north Clements Gap Wind Farm will produce electricity equivalent to the needs of around 30,000 homes annually and abate around 5 million tonnes of greenhouse gas during the project's lifespan.

In keeping with our commitment to supporting local communities much of the construction work was contracted locally and over the lifespan of the project Pacific Hydro's Sustainable Communities fund will inject more than $1 million into local community organisations.
