Pre-installation begins for Uungula Wind Farm turbines
Wind turbine pre-installation is underway at Squadron Energy’s Uungula Wind Farm, marking the next stage of construction for the project.
Pre-installation, which involves using cranes to install the lower sections of the tower, began at the project site earlier this month.
Western Sydney manufacturing helping power NSW energy transition
Australian manufacturers a playing a key role in the construction of Squadron Energy’s Uungula Wind Farm – the only wind farm under construction in New South Wales.
Precision Oxycut, a steel-cutting company in Western Sydney, fabricates steel plates for the wind farm’s anchor cages, which sit at the base of each turbine and ensure structural stability.
These plates are made using steel from fellow local manufacturer, Bluescope.
OSOM delivery schedule 17 May to 7 June 2026
Oversize overmass deliveries to Uungula Wind Farm are now underway. Towers and the machine head will depart Newcastle in early mornings, with departures spaced 30 minutes apart to ensure smooth passage through the city. They may be required to stop at Warkworth and wait for sunrise before moving on.
First turbine components for Uungula Wind Farm arrive at site
The first wind turbine components have been delivered to Squadron Energy’s Uungula Wind Farm, signalling the start of the next phase of the project.
Oversize overmass (OSOM) deliveries started this week, with components transported from the Port of Newcastle to site.
First transmission lines strung at Uungula Wind Farm
A helicopter took to the Central West sky to start stringing transmission lines at Squadron Energy’s Uungula Wind Farm last month.
Transmission line will be attached to 28 towers over the coming months to connect the wind farm into the electricity grid.
