![Enlarge photo 4](https://photos.imageevent.com/gladysclancy/australiassouthwest/albany/icons/100_0038.JPG) 4 Albany Wind Farm The Albany Wind Farm is about 12 km from Albany and was officially opened in October 2001. It is in an elevated position approximately 80m above the Southern Ocean. This height, proximity to the coastline and small distance to the main electricity transmission system make this an exceptional wind farm site.
| ![Enlarge photo 5](https://photos.imageevent.com/gladysclancy/australiassouthwest/albany/icons/100_0039.JPG) 5 Wind Turbine The Albany wind farm consists of twelve 1800kW wind turbines connected to the Albany electrical system and control network.

![Enlarge photo 7](https://photos.imageevent.com/gladysclancy/australiassouthwest/albany/icons/100_0042.JPG) 7 Albany Wind Farm The turbines have a 65m tower and three 35m long blades, making them one of the biggest available in the world at that time, and the largest to be installed in the southern hemisphere. The turbines operate automatically, with the three blades adjusted to maximise power output from any wind direction or strength.
