Acciona has reached an agreement with CleanCo, Queensland government owned renewable generator, for it to become the independent owner and operator of a 100 MW wind farm within the MacIntyre complex. In addition, CleanCo will acquire the annual production from 400 MW of the wind farm’s capacity for ten years under a power purchase agreement.
Acciona says it is negotiating additional supply agreements with private clients as well as the possible involvement of other offtaker-investor partners for its 926 MW of the MacIntyre complex. Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-2021, with a gradual start-up in tranches and full operation in 2024.
It will employ 180 Nordex Delta4000 turbines, each with a capacity of up to 5.7 MW. Acciona, which merged its wind turbine business with Nordex in 2016, has a 36.27% stake in Nordex.
