Australian renewable energy firm Epuron, a division of German Conergy, plans to build what may be the world’s largest wind farm in the outback of Australia, the company announced Monday. With plans for between 400 and 500 turbines, the $1.8 billion project in Australia’s New South Wales state could deliver 1,000 megawatts of clean renewable energy, providing enough power for about 400,000 homes and roughly 4.5 percent of the region’s electricity consumption in a typical year, the company said.
