Goldwind has agreed to supply Australia’s largest plastic recycling plant with power from one of its wind farms.

Its 321MW Moorabool wind farm in Victoria will power Advanced Circular Polymers’ (ACP’s) recycling facility, which opened at the end of June.

Large quantities of low-value contaminated mixed plastics from households will be processed at the plant in Somerton, central Victoria, ACP stated.

Construction started at Moorabool in July 2018. It will consist of 107 Goldwind 136/3000 turbines.

Delivery and installation of the turbines are ongoing. The project is expected to start providing ACP with power in early 2020. 

A Goldwind spokeswoman told Windpower Monthly that the power purchase agreement was not for the full output of the wind farm, but would not specify the precise volume.
