All 29 Documented Cases
Grid-Induced Capacity Curtailment
12% generation loss during peaks (~AUD 50-100M/year per large farm); 1.37 TWh in SA alone[1][2][5]Wind farms face network-driven curtailment averaging 1.1%, up to 4.8%, with spring peaks at 12%. This represents idle equipment and lost sales opportunities due to grid queues and constraints.
Manual Labour Costs in Bird Bat Carcass Surveys
AUD 40-100 hours per quarterly survey at AUD 100/hour per searcher (multiple turbines)Monitoring requires high searcher efficiency trials and searches covering multiple turbines, with widths optimized for detection but demanding significant manpower.
Warranty Claim Disputes
AUD 1-5M per wind farm in lost annual energy revenue (at 1-2% AEP shortfall); AUD 200k-500k testing costs per campaignPower curve verification involves costly on-site met tower installation and data collection to confirm OEM warranties. Failures in accurate measurement result in lost warranty claims against underperforming turbines.
Curtailment Revenue Loss
AUD 200-500M annual revenue loss (6-8 TWh at AUD 30-60/MWh); wind-specific ~1.1-4.8% average curtailment[2][1]Curtailment in Australia's NEM has reached record levels, with 6 TWh lost in 2025 YTD, equivalent to two-thirds of Tasmania's consumption. Wind farms lose dispatchable energy due to transmission limits and economic factors, directly reducing revenue if not tracked for compensation.
