Envision Energy received the NTP for Neoen's 179MW Narrogin Wind Farm, deploying 23 EN182-7.8MW turbines, the largest ever installed in Australia.
Envision Energy received the notice to proceed from Neoen for the turbine supply and installation package of the 179MW Narrogin Wind Farm in Western Australia, the companies said Wednesday.
The project will deploy 23 Envision EN182-7.8 MW smart wind turbines with a 155-metre hub height and a 182-metre rotor diameter. Those are the largest wind turbines ever installed in Australia, Envision said.
The farm will power nearly 100,000 Western Australian homes annually and supply about 3% of the annual electricity demand of the South West Interconnected System (SWIS), according to Envision. The turbines are designed to cut the levelised cost of electricity while maximising energy production.
This is Envision's second active Australian wind project awarded in the past 12 months. It follows an earlier entry into the Pilbara region with 17 EN-182/7.8MW turbines. The Narrogin farm will be Envision's first grid-connected wind farm for a client in Australia, linking to Western Power's 220kV transmission line into the SWIS.
Envision will supply, deliver, install and commission the turbines with UGL and CPB Contractors, both members of the CIMIC Group. It also signed a 30-year Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Agreement with Neoen, providing long-term lifecycle support.
"The energy transition is entering a new phase, where success depends not only on adding more renewable generation, on building intelligent energy infrastructure," said Kane Xu, Senior Vice President and President of International Product Line at Envision Energy. "Australia is a strategic market for Envision, and Neoen's Narrogin Wind Farm marks another important milestone in our long-term commitment to the country."
Xu said Envision's Future Energy System integrates smart wind, grid-forming battery storage and AI-enabled energy management to support a cleaner, more resilient and more affordable energy future for Australia.
Peter Cowling, Head of Wind at Envision Energy Australia, said projects like Narrogin allow the company to build long-standing relationships with clients like Neoen and demonstrate its expertise through proven technology and local execution. "Together with our partners, we are committed to delivering the project safely and to the highest standards of quality, while maximising the asset's long-term performance and value through our operations and maintenance services," he said.
Jean-Christophe Cheylus, Neoen's Regional CEO for Australia Pacific, thanked Synergy, the Government of Western Australia, host landowners, the Gnaala Karla Booja Aboriginal Corporation and the wider community. "We are delighted to be joining hands with Envision, UGL and CPB Contractors to build Neoen's first wind farm on the west coast," he said. "Together, we look forward to powering Western Australia's future with clean and reliable energy."
Envision Energy has delivered more than 100 GW of wind power capacity and over 50 GWh of battery energy storage systems worldwide, the company said. The Narrogin project extends its footprint in one of the world's fastest-growing renewable energy markets.
