| Leighton Contractors, GE awarded contract in Western Australia Leighton Contractors, a subsidiary of Leighton Holdings and one of Australia's leading contracting and project development groups, in consortium with GE, has been awarded a $130 million contract by the Verve Energy and Macquarie Capital joint venture for the Mumbida Wind Farm development, 40 kilometres South-East of Geraldton in Western Australia. The development will generate 55 Megawatts of renewable electricity into the South West Interconnected System (SWIS) - enough energy to power around 35, 000 homes and offset approximately 165, 000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year. It is expected the wind farm will be complete by November 2012. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
