Joule Logic installed an Enercon E-30 300 kW wind turbine on Flinders Island in late 2012 to offset diesel generation at the local diesel power station.
This turbine was originally purchased by the Australian Antarctic Division for use at its Mawson base, but was not installed. The turbine produces about 25% of Flinders Island’s electricity and has reduced diesel usage at power station by an average of 250,000 litres per year.
The turbine occupies a site owned by the Flinders Island Aboriginal Corporation and pays the Corporation and annual dividend for the use of their land.
