π Tender Overview
Scope : To Establish 330 MW New Wind Farm in Victoria, Australia
Spanish firm that delves into the development and management of infrastructure and renewable energy Acciona Energia has set sights on setting up a new 330 MW wind farm, which will come up in regional Nyaninuk, Victoria.
The proposal looks at constructing 58 wind turbines. These would generate 330 MW of renewable energy in regions of Western Victoria. This equals to powering up 210,000 homes every year. The proposal will pave the way for the creation of 210,000 jobs in Ballarat. In the wake of the construction of the project, employment opportunities through 200 jobs will be created. Additionally, there are ten ongoing permanent roles during operations too.
The wind farm project will see an investment worth $700 million. Meanwhile, the EES referral (Environment Effects Statement) will be submitted later this year. The process of consultation will follow subsequently next year.
