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.
Wallaby Creek Wind Farm is a proposed renewable energy project with a generating capacity of up to 250 MW. The Wallaby Creek Wind Farm will be located in the Narromine Shire Council LGA, New South Wales.
Approximately 10 kms south of Narromine. The project is situated within the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (REZ), which is an area identified by the New South Wales Government as a priority region for the development of renewable energy projects.
The proposed project will consist of up to 44 wind turbine generators and associated infrastructure and sits across approximately 8,000 hectares of pastoral and cropping land.
The Wallaby Creek Wind Farm is proposed to connect to Essential Energy’s 132kV Narromine South Switching Station, located approximately 10km north of the project.
GENERAL INFORMATION
- Project Configuration: up to 44 wind turbine generators based on 5.7MW machine
- Location: Narromine Shire Council LGA, New South Wales
- Capacity: up to 250 MW
- Energy Production: equivalent to powering up to 200,000 households
- Construction Commencement: anticipated commencement of construction in late 2025
- Project Value: up to $425m
KEY FEATURES
Named for the Wallaby Creek which crosses the northern portion of the site. The site was selected due to its location within the Central West Orana REZ, its high wind resource, suitable topography, compatible land use, access to transport infrastructure and a local workforce. The site is currently predominately used for pastoral and broadacre cereal cropping activities.
