THE cliff tops at Cathedral Rocks have taken on a new profile with the first massive 60-metre-tall turbines being erected in recent days.

…

The 66-megawatt wind farm is a joint-venture project between Australian company Hydro Tasmania, which produces 60 per cent of the nation’s renewable energy, and Spanish company EHN, which has built 80 wind farms producing 2200 megawatts across the world.

The 33-turbine Cathedral Rock Wind Farm is expected to generate enough electricity to service 33,000 homes, many more than the 5000 houses in the city of Port Lincoln.
