The 143MW wind farm will generate enough electricity to power around 90,000 homes.

The 200-metre-tall turbines are expected to produce 62GWh of clean electricity every year, enough to power almost 20,000 homes.

The batteries will serve as a power reserve, provide grid support and enable the increased use of renewable energy.

Customers living in Australia will be able to shop for solar panels through the company’s website.
