Synergy has warned Wheatbelt residents to look out for trucks carrying the massive components of 17 wind turbines en route to Hyden.
Destined for the King Rocks Wind Farm in Hyden, the oversized trucks are set to travel 450km from the Port of Bunbury via Collie Lake King Road, Wagin-Dumbleyung Road, Absolon Street, Ebsary Street, Dumbleyung-Lake Grace Road, and Rabbit Proof Fence Road.
Deliveries will set off from the port at sunrise each day and pass through Darkan in the morning, and Dumbleyung by midday.
Trucks are expected to run every day from late May until September, weather depending.
Loads will include blades, tower sections and other large turbine components, and will be escorted by traffic pilots.
The size of the loads runs up to 94m in length and 4.4m in width, weighing 27 tonnes.
Synergy has requested that drivers who find they are behind an oversized load to wait to pass until traffic pilots signal that it is safe to do so, noting the trucks will stop every 20km-25km to allow waiting traffic to overtake.
School bus operators stuck behind the loads are asked to contact the plot using UHF channel 40 so they can pull over and let them pass when safe.
The King Rocks Wind Farm will be built about 35km north-east of Hyden in the shire of Kondinin.
It involves 17 wind turbine towers up to 125m tall, with 80m-long blades expected to generate up to 105MW of electricity.
The wind farm will be completed by 2027 and will generate up to 200 jobs.
Working with global energy solutions company Vestas, 185 turbine components were imported through the Port of Bunbury in two shipments.
The AAL Shanghai arrived mid-March ahead of the AAL Antwerp, carrying the 51 turbine blades in April.
