The Hampton Wind Park is a wind power station near Hampton, south-east of Lithgow, New South Wales, Australia. Initiated, developed and operated privately by a landholder, the farm has two wind turbines, with a total nameplate capacity of 1.32 MW of renewable electricity which is supplied to the main electricity grid.[1]

Technical information

Wind Corporation Australia, an energy development company, was established in 2000 by founding investor CVC REEF Limited to develop and commission the Hampton Wind Park.[2] Project cost was A$2.4 million, funded by an investment by CVC-REEF and the NSW Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA).[1]

Opened in September 2001, the wind farm reduces greenhouse gases by 3,000 tonnes each year[3] over the 20 year life of the project, compared to the equivalent electricity generation from coal. The wind turbines are Vestas V47-660 kW models, with 50 metres (160 ft) hub height and 47 metres (154 ft) rotor diameter.[1]

The wind farm's output feeds the grid, and creates renewable energy credits which Integral Energy sells to its Green Power subscribers.
