Electricity produced by the wind farm will be used to power the 30 hectares (74 acres) glass house facility owned by Nectar Farms, with the excess contracted for supply to the Government of Victoria.[3] The wind turbines are Siemens Gamesa SG 3.4-132 model, and there will also be a 20 MW / 34 MWh lithium-ion battery as part of the project.[4] The EPC contract and 25 years of maintenance is with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, the fourth contract by the company for an Australian wind farm owned by Neoen.[5]
