Victoria has
1488 operating wind turbines over 1 MW
Here
The Government claim:
"Victoria currently has approximately 949MW of operating wind power generation." But as the data demonstrates below, very rarely is that potential ever realised. How many wind farms would be required to even make inroads to the total energy required in Victoria alone. We are being conned. There are 1488 Turbines in Victoria producing only 33 MW of power today (Monday 18th @ 1335 Hours) and the Andrews Government would prefer a Hazardous Wind Farm over an airport that serves a community. Go Figure.
With the current technology we would require
6271 Wind Turbines to provide 50% of the total energy generated in Victoria last Wednesday 13th December @ 1245. This is at the Governments estimated 949 MW of capacity, however, we rarely see it. That means increased number of hazardous turbines.
TUESDAY 12 DECEMBER
There does not appear to be very much wind power generation today.
WEDNESDAY 13 DECEMBER
This was a hot day for us, around the mid 30's. From lunchtime, the wind generation reduced steadily throughout the day.
