Three new wind farms will be built in Victoria and South Australia as a result of the ACT Government’s first wind energy reverse auction.
Australian Capital Territory Minister for the Environment Simon Corbell said the reverse auction has resulted in a $50 million direct investment into the local economy and broader economic benefits in excess of $240 million.
The three winning projects were:
The Ararat Wind Farm, an 80.5 megawatt (MW) wind farm developed by RES Australia west of Ballarat, Victoria
The Coonooer Bridge Wind Farm, a 19.4 MW wind farm developed by Canberra company Windlab Limited west of Bendigo, Victoria
The Hornsdale Wind Farm, a 100 MW wind farm developed by Neoen south-east of Port Augusta in South Australia.
