THE Musselroe Wind Farm has been officially switched on and is now generating power for the state's electricity grid.

The $395 million project consists of 56 turbines, which will be progressively turned on. It will be fully operational by July.

Premier Lara Giddings said it was a "great milestone".

"This has been a huge development which has delivered jobs for Tasmanians, opportunities for local businesses and a significant boost for the North-West economy," she said.

"It builds on Hydro Tasmania's partnership with leading Chinese energy company Shenhua which is securing investment and jobs in our renewable energy sector."

Ms Giddings said more than 200 people had been directly employed on the project during the peak of construction.
