I seriously dont know what you are on about here. For a start 6 days per turbine does NOT account for the planning and the fact that the concreate pours started in July last year!!!! Unfortunately, the concreate pours are essential for the turbine construction. It is a typical media story for those that do not understand the magnitude of the problem to swallow. When I first stated that we were well behind in construction of alternative energy sources the same source (renew) had that we had to build one of these turbines per DAY to reach the target. So in fact this 6 day turbine has taken around 300 days if you want to skew the story the other way. (Golden Plains actually started the planning process in 2016, so will have taken 10 years for the real build time)
The 6 days, as stated is a nice story for the media and even if repeated across the entire 122 turbine still means completion is over 2 years away and that is for Stage 1. Stage 2 is just starting constructed and it will be at least 12 months before the first turbine will be FULLY constructed. Now look at Stage 1, even given the utopic 40% capacity its yearly output is less than 2/3 of a single Loy Yang unit, of which there are 6 in total, 4 owned by AGL. So 9 off the largest wind farms currently being built in Australia have to be built by 2035 to close Loy Yang. Hmmmm, there is Eraring, Bayswater, Yallourn all to close as well.
Star of the South hasn't even a port to operate out of and there is no sign of it occurring. It will happen but it just wont happen like you and others are anticipating. The proof is the feelers going out to keep Eraring open for 4 more years, if that doesn't convince you then nothing will.
Over to you
