AGL Energy Limited (AGL) has announced it would build another wind farm in the Hallett area in South Australia.

The 71MW wind farm will be located at Hallett Hill and will have a total development cost of approximately AUS$ 166 million creating 150 jobs during the construction phase of the project. Hallett Hill would be the third wind farm under AGL management and operation in South Australia and is expected to be operating commercially around November 2009. AGL will contract all electricity output and green credits and will maintain the operations and management contract. A decision is anticipated on the future ownership structure towards the end of the 2008 AGL financial year. Construction activities for the wind farm are scheduled to commence in January 2008.
