    Wind Turbine Transportation

    Wind Turbine Transportation Temporary delays – Gateway Motorway / Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road intersection May 2019 – July 2019 Saturday to Thursday nights between 10pm and 12am Saturday to Thursday nights (six nights per week), between 10pm and 12am, the intersection of the Gateway Motorway and Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road will be closed intermittently, for approximately 15-20 minutes, to allow for the safe movement of oversize vehicles transporting wind turbine blades and large tower sections to the Coopers Gap Wind Farm near Cooranga North. Traffic will be held at the Gateway Motorway / Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road intersection and on the motorway off-ramp until it is safe to continue. We will try to minimise the disruption to other road users where possible, but some delays are to be expected. These temporary closures will be in place between May and July 2019. Closure times Gateway Motorway / Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road intersection • Saturday to Thursday nights (six nights per week), intermittent closures between 10pm – 12am, from May to July 2019 Transportation of oversize wind turbine components Between January and November 2019, components for the wind farm’s 123 GE wind turbines will be transported over 300km from the Port of Brisbane to the Coopers Gap Wind Farm site. In total there will be approximately 1200 oversize transport movements to deliver all of the wind turbine components to site – including blades, tower sections, hubs and nacelles. The blades, which are up to 67.2 metres long, are the largest wind turbine blades ever transported in Australia. The movement of such large pieces of equipment requires detailed planning and coordination.

  • Warradarge Wind Farm Powers Up

    Warradarge Wind Farm Powers Up

    MEDIA RELEASE 12 August 2020 Warradarge Wind Farm powers up Bright Energy Investments’ Warradarge Wind Farm in Western Australia’s Mid-West has produced its first electricity, with three of its turbines powering up to 10MW. Over the next month, the 51-turbine wind farm will ramp up to a total generating capacity of 180MW through a staged commissioning process. Specialist technicians are now busy running tests on each of the turbines in turn in preparation for the generation and export from the entire wind farm into the South West Interconnected System (SWIS) following commissioning. BEI General Manager, Mr Tom Frood said he was immensely proud that first generation at the wind farm had taken place. “This is a major milestone for Bright Energy Investments. Warradarge Wind Farm is one of the biggest renewable projects in the state and remains on track to be fully commissioned by September,” Mr Frood said. “Despite some challenges due to the COVID -19, the construction phase of Warradarge is progressing incredibly well, which is reflective of the hard work and dedication of everyone involved in the project.” More than 200 jobs were created during construction of the wind farm, which was completed within 12 months from first mobilisation to site. The wind farm’s location - 15km north-east of Warradarge, 15km south-east of Eneabba and 40km south-west of Carnamah - was chosen to take advantage of abundant wind resources of the region and its proximity to the SWIS. Each turbine weighs 181 tonnes with 67 metre-long blades, has a hub height of 84 metres and height of 151 metres to the top of the blade tip.

Guy Barnett, MP Minister for Energy Department of State Growth 4 Salamanca Pl Hobart TAS 7000 Dear Minister Barnett Re: Response to the Draft Tasmanian Renewable Energy Action Plan Goldwind Australia (Goldwind) is pleased to present this response to the Tasmanian Governments Draft Renewable Energy Action Plan. Goldwind has over ten years’ experience of building renewable energy projects across Australia, with 562MW operating including the 144MW Cattle Hill Wind Farm in Tasmania, 960MW of wind farms currently under construction and a further 1.3 GW in the immediate development pipeline. As an experienced renewable energy developer, Goldwind shares the vision expressed in the Tasmanian Renewable Energy Action Plan and applauds the goal of achieving a 200% renewable energy target by 2040. We consider this long-term vision will bring substantial economic, social and environmental benefits for Tasmanian. We have made several suggestions that Goldwind considers would help achieve the stated goals in an efficient and effective manner. These are detailed in our submission, which is attached as Attachment A. We will continue to pursue opportunities for further renewable energy generation in Tasmania.

It is being developed by Inch Cape Offshore Windfarm Ltd (ICOL). This project was consented in 2014, but was subject to Judicial Review proceedings (see section 1.4.1.1 of the EIA Report for full details) which resulted in significant delays. Subsequently ICOL requested a Scoping Opinion for a new application comprising of 75 turbines with a generating capacity of 784 MW.

    Alinta Energy with the Opportunity to Provide Comment on the WEM Effectiveness Report Issues Paper

    16 December 2019 Transmission via online submission form: https://www.erawa.com.au/consultation Report to the Minister for Energy on the Effectiveness of the Wholesale Electricity Market 2019 Issues paper Thank you for providing Alinta Energy with the opportunity to provide comment on the WEM effectiveness report issues paper. The ERA has identified that the reform process is addressing many of the elements raised in previous WEM effectiveness reports. However, the ERA has highlighted an issue that does not appear to be within the reform scope, specifically the impact that network decisions can have in influencing outcomes in the WEM (and the resultant impacts on market cost optimisation). Alinta Energy supports a mechanism to ensure that network outage planning chooses the overall least cost plan Western Australia is an attractive market for renewables investment given the abundance of natural resources and the market design characteristics. However, significant support and industry leadership was required to allow new renewable generators to connect to the network in a timely manner under the interim access solution (known as the Generator Interim Access or GIA). The underlying principle of the GIA solution is that it applies constraints to limit the output of a GIA generator when network capacity is limited. This includes: • A dynamic (real-time) assessment and application of constraints during system normal; and • Manual assessment and application of constraints in other circumstances (i.e. when there is a planned outage on any network element that impacts the GIA generator). Badgingarra Wind Farm (BWF)1 is the first GIA generator in commercial operation on SWIS.

    Backroad Connections Pty Ltd ABN: 64 090 245 382 [email protected] (0407) 486-651 www.backroad.com.au Implications for the Tasmanian electricity system of the proposal to restore Lake Pedder July 2019 Overview The paper analyses the implication for the Tasmanian electricity system of the proposal by the Lake Pedder Restoration Committee (LPRC) to restore the original Lake Pedder. It provides information on the current contribution of the Gordon Scheme to Tasmanian electricity generation and energy storage and provides some information and estimates on alternatives to replace this generation if the original Lake Pedder was restored. Background The original Lake Pedder was flooded in 1972 as part of an expansion of the Tasmanian hydro-electric scheme. The flooded area created is still officially known as Lake Pedder although the LPRC prefer the name Huon- Serpentine Impoundment. In this paper we will use the term ‘new Lake Pedder’. The new Lake Pedder at 242 sq km is vastly bigger than the original Lake Pedder at 10 sq km. The new Lake Pedder does not have its own hydro-electric generation. Its purpose is to trap and raise the level of the water that would otherwise flow down the Huon and Serpentine rivers. The water is raised to the level where it flows through a channel created at McPartlan Pass into the Gordon Dam and contributes to the storage and generation of the Gordon Scheme. As a result the level of the new Lake Pedder does not vary more than a few metres. This makes it more visually attractive and more suitable for recreational use than the adjacent Gordon Reservoir.
