Victorian windfarm has secured 20-year feed-in tariff from ACT as part of goal to produce 90% of its electricity from clean sources by 2020
Work has begun on a new $50m windfarm in Victoria that will edge the Australian Capital Territory closer to its clean energy supply target, as the renewables sector begins to emerge from a political impasse that threatened to cripple it.
The Coonooer Bridge windfarm, north-west of Bendigo, has secured a 20-year feed-in tariff from the ACT government to supply Canberra properties, as part of an ACT goal to produce 90% of its electricity from clean sources by 2020.
