Goldwind Australia has announced it has signed a turbine supply and installation agreement with juwi and a 10-year warranty operations and maintenance agreement with Contract Power Australia for the wind turbine part of Contract Power’s hybrid generation solution for the town of Esperance in Western Australia.
Contract Power Australia will be selling the output from their hybrid generation system to Horizon Power under a long term Power Purchase Agreement. The hybrid renewable energy solution will include two Goldwind GW 155/4.5 MW wind turbines, a 4 MW solar farm, a lithium-ion battery and gas generators. Renewable generation is expected to meet about half of Esperance’s annual electricity demand.
