· 3 pulledAs Australia's biggest wind farm becomes the first in the country to pass the gigawatt-output mark, it is worth remembering that not all wind projects go according to plan.
The Golden Plains wind farm in Victoria reached the 1 GW output mark last week as commissioning continues on the second stage of its 1.33 gigawatt (GW) project.
But the TagEnergy project wasn't supposed to be the first 1 GW wind farm in Australia.
As the first Australian wind farm to reach 1 GW of output is celebrated, the project that was supposed to be the first to reach that milestone is stuck at its half way point.
