Neoen's Narrogin Wind Farm is Envision Energy's second active Australian wind project awarded within the past 12 months, following its entry into the Pilbara region with 17 EN-182/7.8MW wind turbines. It will also become Envision Energy's first grid-connected wind farm for a client in Australia, connecting to Western Power's existing 220kV transmission line into the South West Interconnected System (SWIS). Envision will supply, deliver, install and commission the wind turbines in partnership with the UGL and CPB Contractors(members of the CIMIC Group). The company has also signed a 30-year Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Agreement with Neoen, providing long-term lifecycle support to maximise asset performance and reliability throughout the project's operational life.
"The energy transition is entering a new phase, where success depends not only on adding more renewable generation, but on building intelligent energy infrastructure." said Kane Xu, Senior Vice President and President of International Product Line at Envision Energy, "Australia is a strategic market for Envision, and Neoen's Narrogin Wind Farm marks another important milestone in our long-term commitment to the country. Through our Future Energy System, we are integrating smart wind, grid-forming battery storage and AI-enabled energy management to support a cleaner, more resilient and more affordable energy future for Australia."
