In November of 2002, Paul and Andrew explored the possibility
of a windfarm for Denmark. Similar to the Albany windfarm, Denmark's
own would be sized to match the local load, the township of Denmark.
Paul had lived in the area for 14 years and was able to
run the idea past others in the community who might be interested. That
group evolved into Denmark Community Windfarm Inc, DCW Inc.
We researched the Denmark Shire for a suitable location
for a windfarm. Baring in mind the small size of the project compared
to other grid connected windfarms around the country, we were after
a very high wind site. The
case for the Ocean Beach Quarry site can be seen here.
In July, 2003 SkyFarming put up a monitoring mast, right,
to confirm the wind resource and the results have been very encouraging.
We have been working with the DCW Inc to gain developmental
approval and with Western Power Networks to gain connection and access
to the grid.
The activities and events both SkyFarming and DCW
Inc have been involved in were outlined on this website. These
details and material about the project are now on the website
below, www.dcw.org.au.
