A cargo ship carrying a massive load of 17 new Vestas EnVentus wind turbines has arrived in Western Australia for transport to Synergy’s King Rocks Wind Farm.
Vestas shared a video of the delivery at the Port of Bunbury showing the arrival of 51 turbine blades, each spanning almost 80m in length, along with 85 tower sections, and 17 hubs, nacelles, and powertrains.

From the Port of Bunbury, the enormous components will travel more than 450km inland to the site near Hyden in the state’s Wheatbelt region, where the installation process will begin.
The renewable energy project will feature 17 V162-6.2 MW turbines from Vestas’ EnVentus platform, contributing to a total capacity of 105MW.
“EnVentus is our flagship onshore platform, with more than 14GW installed globally and strong momentum across markets,” the company said in a post on LinkedIn.
“Through this project, we are delivering a full EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) solution, together with a 30-year service agreement, ensuring efficient execution and long-term performance, while supporting a more reliable, affordable and sustainable energy system in Australia.”
Construction began on King Rocks Wind Farm in October 2025. When complete, it will generate enough power for up to 70,000 homes.
The Western Australian Government has committed $513 million towards the project, which will also involve construction of associated infrastructure such as roads, transmission lines, and substation facilities.
