COLLGAR WIND FARM
Collgar Wind Farm consists of 111 wind turbines with a gross capacity of 222MW, and is located 25km south-east of Merredin in Western Australia. The wind farm generates and delivers clean, renewable electricity into the SWIS each year, thereby making a major contribution to Western Australia’s greenhouse gas reductions.
At full power, the wind energy created displaces approximately 0.6 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide per year, equivalent to taking approximately 210,000 cars off the road each year or the equivalent carbon reduction of planting 9 million trees.
Collgar Wind Farm is wholly owned by the Retail Employees Superannuation Trust (Rest). Rest is one of the largest profit-to-member industry superannuation funds in Australia, with over 1.8 million members and around $66 billion in funds under management (as at 30 June 2021). Rest was established in 1988 and is open to all Australians. For more information visit rest.com.au .
