Beginning of operationsThe Toora Wind Farm is a wind power station located in the South Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. The wind farm is located on a ridge to the north-east of Toora and includes a viewing deck with boards giving information about how the turbines operate, as well as affording views of the spectacular surrounding scenery. The farm has a total capacity of 21 MW, consisting of 12 turbines that are capable of generating up to 1.75 MW each. The turbines are located on a mix of private and public land, and the farm is connected to the national power grid via a substation.
