The Waubra wind farm consists of 128 ACCIONA Windpower technology wind turbines. The wind farm can generate enough clean electricity to power about 140,000 homes in the region. The units are ACCIONA's AW-1500 1.5 MW machines.

By connecting the wind farm to the power grid, the company has officialy completed construction and start-up of the power generating facility. Of the 252 wind power projects ACCIONA has developed around the world, this is the biggest so far.

Waubra won't hold the company record for too long. This November, the company expects to finish a 250.5 MW wind farm in Mexico.
