On an average day, 46,000 homes could be powered by the completed facility.
Deputy general manager of the developers, BJCE Australia, Derek Powell said that the two turbines were completed on Monday, and that the project remained on track for commissioning at the end of May or early June.
"We're very pleased with progress," said Mr Powell.
"All the civil and electrical works are finished, and we're starting to put up the third turbine now."

He said that when the first eight turbines were up, the site would be commissioned.
At that point, the first turbines will start spinning, generating electricity that would be routed through a small sub-station at Biala then on to the existing main sub-station at the nearby Gullen Range Wind Farm.
Work on the Biala sub-station is also complete.
The turbines are still being delivered in pieces each day from Port Kembla to Biala.
In all, there will be approximately 350 components delivered over a five to six-month period using specialist trucks.
"We expect them to still be delivering components to the site for another four months," said Mr Powell.
"After we get a certain amount of bits and pieces onsite we start using the cranes to put the turbines up."

He said the wind farm was still on track to be complete and fully operational by the end of the year, and that there would be several local jobs available to service the site.
Much of the construction and maintenance was undertaken by project partner Goldwind, which included a number of fly-in-fly-out turbine specialists.
Once the wind farm is commissioned, up to $90,000 will become available for community projects through the Community Enhancement Fund.
"Projects within five kilometres of Biala will be prioritised for the first five years," said Mr Powell, "and those within 20 kilometres for the next 20 years."
The life of the facility is expected to be about 25 years.
Gullen Range Wind Farm has a similar grant project.
It has been open for applications since March 2 but closes tomorrow, Friday, May 1.
The guidelines and application forms are available on the Upper Lachlan Shire Council's webpage here.
Upon commissioning, the first turbines will start spinning, generating electricity that would be routed through a small sub-station at Biala then on to the existing main sub-station at the nearby Gullen Range Wind Farm.
