Loddon Mallee Renewable Energy Roadmap
Loddon Mallee Region Renewable Energy Roadmap Loddon Mallee Renewable Energy Roadmap Foreword On behalf of the Victorian Government, I am pleased to present the Victorian Regional Renewable Energy Roadmaps. As we transition to cleaner energy with new opportunities for jobs and greater security of supply, we are looking to empower communities, accelerate renewable energy and build a more sustainable and prosperous state. Victoria is leading the way to meet the challenges of climate change by enshrining our Victorian Renewable Energy Targets (VRET) into law: 25 per cent by 2020, rising to 40 per cent by 2025 and 50 per cent by 2030. Achieving the 2030 target is expected to boost the Victorian economy by $5.8 billion - driving metro, regional and rural industry and supply chain development. It will create around 4,000 full time jobs a year and cut power costs. It will also give the renewable energy sector the confidence it needs to invest in renewable projects and help Victorians take control of their energy needs. Communities across Barwon South West, Gippsland, Grampians and Loddon Mallee have been involved in discussions to help define how Victoria transitions to a renewable energy economy. These Roadmaps articulate our regional communities’ vision for a renewable energy future, identify opportunities to attract investment and better understand their community’s engagement and capacity to transition to renewable energy. Each Roadmap has developed individual regional renewable energy strategies to provide intelligence to business, industry and communities seeking to establish or expand new energy technology development, manufacturing or renewable energy generation in Victoria. The scale of change will be significant, but so will the opportunities. -
Dear Ms Gardner
Select Committee on Wind Turbines Submission 208 - Attachment 1 [Reference No] Ms.Ann Gardner By email to: Dear Ms Gardner, Thank you for your email to the Chair of the Clean Energy Regulator, dated 18 November 2014, making a formal complaint about noise and vibration from the Macarthur Wind Farm. The matters raised by you are more appropriately addressed to the Victorian Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (formerly known as the Victorian Department of Planning and Community Development). They are not matters that fall within the powers of the Clean Energy Regulator (the Regulator) under the various Commonwealth legislation administered by the Regulator. The Clean Energy Regulator is an economic regulator. With respect to the Renewable Energy Target, the Regulator regulates both the supply of certificates (by ensuring the integrity of their creation by renewable power stations) and the demand and surrender of those certificates (by ensuring liable electricity retailers surrender the correct number of certificates). The Clean Energy Regulator is only empowered to administer relevant Commonwealth laws (eg to ensure that a wind farm operator complies with its responsibilities under relevant Commonwealth legislation that the Regulator administers). It cannot interfere in state-based activities. If a wind farm is not complying with State/Territory laws (eg as to planning requirements and noise control etc), it is a matter for the relevant State/Territory a.uthority to address. The Macarthur Wind Farm is an accredited power station under the Renewable Energy (Electricity} Act 2000 (the Act) and the Renewable Energy (Electricif:W Regulations 2001 (the Regulations). Once an eligible power station has been accredited, it remains accredited unless the Regulator decides to suspend the accreditation under Division 11 of Part 2 of the Act {being sections 30D and 30E and the circumstances prescribed for the purposes of subsection 30E(5) in regulation 20D of the Regulations). -
A Brief Chronology of SA EPA and Other SA Regulatory Authorities Awareness of Wind Farm Noise Complaints and Ongoing Evidence Of
1 A brief chronology of SA EPA and other SA regulatory authorities awareness of wind farm noise complaints and ongoing evidence of LGA and community requests for review of the SA wind farm noise guidelines and compliance procedures M Morris 3/4/14 There appears to be a systemic failure of the SA wind farm noise complaints procedure and the following up of complaints with regulatory authorities as the number of complaints by residents and received by the developers and local councils is not reflected in the number of complaints quoted by the SA EPA. (SA only acknowledges seven separate complaints). The two SA wind farms generating the greatest number of complaints are the Waterloo wind farm (Clare & Gilbert Valleys Council) and the Hallett group of wind farms (Regional Council of Goyder). Presumably there has also been at least one complaint about the Clements Gap wind farm as the 2012 EPA/Resonate(1) study released January 31, 2013 investigated this Clements Gap home variously described as approximately 1.4 km (page 23) and also 1.5 km (page 65) from the nearest turbine as well as one house 1.5 km from the nearest turbine at The Bluff wind farm near Hallett. The SA EPA’s and met with Millicent residents on 14 March 2013 (in the presence of by M Morris and ), and heard the extent of their problems near the Lake Bonney wind farm. The EPA was asked, but declined, to investigate the noise at the Mortimer home. Either the majority of Waterloo and Hallett wind farm complaints have not been passed on to the EPA, or the SA EPA has not acknowledged them. -
