OZ WINDFARMS CLOSE TO GREEN LIGHT

摘要

New Zealand energy company Trustpower said two of its Australian wind farm projects are set to go ahead now the impasse on the Renewable Energy Target has been resolved. Trustpower is developing the 260MW Palmer wind farm in South Australia, and the Dundonald project in Victoria, which has a capacity of up to 320MW. The company's chief executive Vince Hawksworth told New Zealand media both projects will have got through the approvals process by the end of the calendar year, acknowledging there was then a two-to-three year time frame to get the projects to fruition.
