Benefits

A wind farm of 6 MW is capable of making a valuable contribution to Australia’s renewable energy target of 20% by 2020. Key statistics are:

Renewable energy production per annum	18,000 MWh
Equivalent power consumption	3,300 households
Annual greenhouse gas abatement	18,000 tonnes CO₂
Equivalent number of cars off the road	4,100
Equivalent number of trees planted	26,850

During construction, we will maximise Australian and local input into the project wherever possible, using local contractors in the construction of roads, fences, and other site works. Some of the turbine components such as the towers can also be sourced from within Australia, ensuring that as much of the investment as possible remains in the country.

Once operational, in addition to the renewable energy generated, the wind farm will enhance the energy security of the area and contribute annually to a community sustainability fund.
