Bodangora WinD Farm
The proposed Bodangora Wind Farm has an expected capacity of approximately 100 MW comprising around 40 wind turbines, a substation, access tracks and an electrical collection system of underground and overhead cables. Information sessions were held in the Comobella Hall on 2-3 September 2011.
Capital 2 WinD Farm
The proposed Capital 2 Wind Farm project will have an expected capacity of approximately 100 MW comprising 41 wind turbines. Capital 2 Wind Farm would form a significant addition to Infigen’s existing Capital Renewable Energy Precinct. The precinct currently consists the Capital Wind Farm (140.7 MW) and Woodlawn Wind Farm (48.3 MW). Construction of Capital 2 wind farm could improve economies of scale for Infigen’s operations in the area, thereby reducing operating costs on a per megawatt basis.
Infigen received Project Approval from the NSW Planning Assessment Commission for the proposed Capital 2 Wind Farm in November 2011.
Cherry Tree WinD Farm
The Cherry Tree Wind Farm is in early stages of development with a forecast installed capacity of 50 MW.
Information sessions were held on:
-
Sunday, 4 December 2011 - Whiteheads Creek Hall on Kobyboyn Road from 10 am to 4 pm
-
Monday, 5 December 2011 - Trawool Valley Resort from 11 am to 8 pm
Infigen invited an independent acoustic expert to answer any questions visitors might have about the various sounds generated by wind farms. The acoustic expert explained in layman’s terms the independent noise compliance testing procedures that must be undertaken at wind farms. He also described the various aspects of these noises and brought recordings from an operating wind farm of wind turbine sounds at various distances.
Flyers Creek Wind Farm
The proposed Flyers Creek Wind Farm has an expected capacity of 115 MW comprising 44 wind turbines, a substation, access tracks and an electrical collection system.
The most recent community meeting, organised by the Blayney Shire Council and run by an independent facilitator, was held on Monday, 28 November 2011.
The Environmental Assessment for the project was on public display from 21 October 2011 to 19 December 2011. For more information, please visit theNSW Department of Planning website.
Forsayth WinD Farm
The proposed Forsayth Wind Farm has an expected installed capacity of 70 to 80 MW, comprising around 20 to 30 wind turbines, a substation, access tracks and an electrical collection system of underground and overhead cables.
WALKAWAY 2 & 3 Wind Farms
The proposed Walkaway 2 & 3 wind farms have an expected capacity of up to 400 MW, and are located near Geraldton, near Infigen's Alinta Wind Farm.
Woakwine WinD Farm
The proposed Woakwine Wind Farm is a large-scale wind farm development with an expected capacity of around 450 MW comprising around 150 wind turbines, a substation, access tracks and an electrical collection system of underground and overhead cables. The project is located along the same ridgeline as Infigen Energy’s existing Lake Bonney Wind Farms.
