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.
Nyaninyuk Wind Farm is a proposed renewable energy project in central Victoria. The site is located between Evansford, Clunes and Waubra, at the intersection of Hepburn Shire, Pyrenees Shire and Ballarat City Council. The site is being considered due to its wind resource, compatibility with the existing environment and good road access from Sunraysia Highway. The land is primarily used for agriculture and grazing.
GENERAL INFORMATION
- Location: between Evansford, Clunes and Waubra (central Victoria)
- Capacity: up to 300 MW
- Energy Production: equivalent to powering up to 210,000 households annually
- Project Value: up to $550m
CURRENT STATUS
The project is currently in the feasibility stage. Wind monitoring and environmental investigations are ongoing at the site and will continue to inform project design throughout the development phase, alongside feedback from the community.
