The Portland wind farm is one of Australia's largest wind farms. It is owned and operated by Pacific Blue and is located on the coast of south-western Victoria near the city of Portland, it consists of four separate sites, all of which have been completed as of 2015. Completion of the entire 195 MW project was expected in 2011,[1] at a capital cost of A$330 million.
The project is expected to produce more than 500GWh annually, enough electricity to power about 125,000 homes each year, and equal to more than 7% of Victoria's residential electricity demand, or powering a city the size of Geelong. The project is being developed by Pacific Blue.[2]
