A RATCH-Australia renewable energy project on the Atherton Tableland, Far North Queensland
Mount Emerald Wind Farm sits on a 2,400 hectare site near Walkamin and Mareeba, chosen for its excellent wind conditions and proximity to the existing electricity network. Development approval was granted in 2015, and 53 turbines have been installed to generate up to 180.5 MW of renewable electricity, enough to power tens of thousands of homes.
