CLEAN, NON-POLLUTING ENERGY
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
1 in 8 people still do not have access to electricity. In order to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, it is necessary to increase the use of renewable energy from 25 % today to 38 % in 2025.
ACCIONA is positioning itself as a key player in addressing the growth in energy demand while curbing the progress of global warming and promoting the transition to a decarbonized energy model.
CLIMATE ACTION
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
The generation and use of energy is responsible for 74 % of total greenhouse gas emissions in the world. This activity is the largest contributor to global warming. Investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency and other low carbon technologies will continue to be essential to meet the new needs of humanity and to minimise their negative impact on the environment.
ACCIONA considers the fight against climate change and its related effects to be a strategic priority. The Company is working to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to the progress of society and respond to the main challenges of sustainable development in the areas of infrastructure, water and energy, leading the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Located within the South-West Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) in NSW, the Keri Keri Wind Farm is a proposed project of up to 884MW of wind energy with potential 200MW/800MWh battery storage. The project is within the Murray River Shire LGA and sits across 18,000 hectares of pastoral land.
The proposed Keri Keri Renewable Energy Project is located due south of the Willowvale Rest Area, abutting the Sturt Highway and Keri Keri Road. The planned Project EnergyConnect NSW/SA Interconnector is proposed to cross the southern portion of the 18,000ha site.
The wind farm represents an investment of up to $2.8 billion.
GENERAL INFORMATION
- Project Configuration: up to 155 wind turbine generators based on 5.7MW machines
- Location: Murray River Shire, NSW. The project is approximately 80km west of Hay
- Capacity: up to to 884MW, with potential 200MW/800MWh battery storage
- Construction Commencement: anticipated in 2027
- Project Value: up to $2.8 billion investment
KEY FEATURES
The land is situated in a remote area characterised by very large pastoral landholdings. The proposed project site is very flat, with good access to transport infrastructure. The project boundary encompasses more than 18,000 ha of land, which is currently predominately used for merino sheep farming.
