Australia’s largest wind farm - NSW Project of the Year

KBR managed the project on time and within budget for Sydney-based client AGL Energy— Australia’s largest private owner, operator and developer of renewable energy assets.

This is the third wind farm KBR has delivered for AGL, and KBR is currently managing construction of a fourth for AGL: the 420-megawatt, 140-turbine Macarthur Wind Farm in Victoria, which, when completed in 2013, is expected to be the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.

The project, which also won the category of Construction/Engineering in Excess of $100 million, added 63 turbines and 132 megawatts to the Hallett group of wind farms in South Australia, increasing capacity to 298 megawatts. The additional capacity could power 80,000 homes.

“The Hallett program is a case study in lessons learned and how success can be achieved through a culture of continuous improvement and teamwork,” said Mark Stephens, AGL Head of Construction – Power Development.
