Coopers Gap Wind Farm

Coopers Gap Wind Farm is a wind power station located between the towns of Dalby & Kingaroy, Queensland, Australia. Coopers Gap Wind Farm is one of the largest in Australia with a total generation capacity of up to 453 megawatts (607,000 hp). The area is mostly cleared, cattle-grazing country and covers approximately 12,000 hectares (29,700 acres) in total. The wind farm consists of 123 turbines extending across a series of ridge lines within the site. The wind turbines are approximately 180 metres (591 ft) in height from the tower base to the tip of the blade. Each tower is approximately 113 metres (371 ft) high, and the blades approximately 67 m (220 ft) in length with a rotor diameter of 137 metres (449 ft). It is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 2.2 million tonnes annually.
