Wind turbines welcomed into the Port of Cairns
Published: 21 January, 2022
JOINT STATEMENT
The first massive wind turbine blades for the $373 million Kaban Green Power Hub have arrived at the Port of Cairns.
The 79-metre, 32-tonne blades are part of the wind farm construction that is supporting more than 250 jobs in far north Queensland and will deliver enough renewable energy to power 96,000 Queensland homes.
Deputy Premier Steven Miles said the wind farm construction came on the back of a $40 million investment by Queensland’s publicly-owned Powerlink to upgrade the transmission line between Cairns and Townsville from 132kV to 275kV.
