Once complete, the 450MW wind farm, consisting of 100 turbines, will produce enough electricity to power around 330,000 homes and avoid 738,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
The project has created over 350 jobs during construction and is injecting $110 million into the regional economy.
Squadron Energy also invests in its local communities and maintains a Community Consultation Committee as a forum for the free flow of ideas, opportunities, and feedback.
A community fund of $200,000 each year will run for the life of the project, with the aim to provide funds to enhance and enrich community initiatives throughout the local community.
The project team aims to keep an open dialogue with the local residents, stakeholders and the wider community. Students from Clarke Creek Primary School recently enjoyed a site visit to the Clarke Creek Wind Farm project, donning hard hats and hi-vis to inspect the construction progress up close.
