Operations

Once operational, the wind farm, is expected to operate for 30 years. During operations, the wind farm must comply with any conditions placed on the approvals.

Management plans will be developed as part of the approvals to ensure compliance. These management plans will be published on the project website as they are approved.

Each turbine has an annual maintenance regime to keep them operating safely and effectively. The maintenance takes approximately 3 days per turbine. Wind farm maintenance will create additional jobs in the local community.

Devlins Bridge Wind Farm is expected to have an operational life of 30 years. At the end of this period, the wind farm will either be upgraded and continue to operate or it will be decommissioned.
