Hepburn Wind Turbines

Hepburn Wind Turbines by Drone Addiction - August 2016.

Hepburn Wind is the community co-operative responsible for the first community initiated and owned wind farm in Australia, Hepburn Community Wind Farm. The 4.1 MW wind farm comprises two turbines and is located at Leonards Hill, in Central Victoria, just south of Daylesford and approximately 100 km north-west of Melbourne.

The Wind Farm comprises of two REpower MM82 (Senvion) wind turbines, each with a maximum capacity of 2.05 MW. The wind farm has been designed to output 4.1 MW when operating at full power.

The wind farm has a predicted capacity factor of 34%.

The planning permit constrained the maximum height of the wind farm to 110 m from ground to blade tip.

The Senvion turbines sit on a 68 m tower and have a blade length of 41 m. At this height, no aircraft warning lights are required.

The Hepburn Community Wind Farm first exported electricity into the local electricity network at 10.20am on 22 June 2011.

A great initiative by the local community.
