The human factor holding up wind power project
Vestas has ambitions to expand the $700 million Warperup Creek project to 750 turbines and produce up to 250,000 tonnes of green hydrogen a year.
But GHD power transmission and distribution leader Carl Parlongo, whose company is helping Vestas advance the project, said building the supporting infrastructure in time could prove the biggest hurdle.
“It’s not only the approvals part of it, once it’s approved how are you going to build it, how is WA going to get the attention of the big contractors to come all the way over to WA?,” Mr Parlongo said.
