  • Anthony Roberts MEDIA RELEASE
    Anthony Roberts Minister for Planning Minister for Housing Special Minister of State MEDIA RELEASE Thursday February 8 2018 NSW LEADS NATION FOR SOLAR FARMS The number of solar farms approved in NSW doubled in 2017 and another already approved this year, with future capacity to support more than 1,800 jobs and power about half a million homes with sustainable energy. Minister for Planning and Housing, Anthony Roberts, said the state’s planning system gave the green light to 10 projects in 2017, twice the number of projects approved the year before, and has approved NSW’s first solar plant for 2018. “Once the 10 solar projects are up and running, they will have a combined solar capacity of nearly 1,200 megawatts and collectively reduce carbon emissions by over 2.5 million tonnes, which is equivalent to taking around 800,000 cars off the road,” Mr Roberts said. “The projects are all located in regional NSW and will support around 1,800 construction jobs. “Sunny Central West NSW proved to be a hotspot in 2017, with six of the 10 proposals coming from the region. “It may be early in 2018, and yet we’ve already approved another 170MW solar project in the Riverina, known as the Finley Solar Project. “Our state already benefits from three operating solar farms in Nyngan, Moree and Broken Hill. There are another seven solar projects currently under construction across regional NSW in Parkes, Yoogali, Manildra, Dubbo, Glenn Innes, Goulburn and Forbes. “The Nyngan Solar Plant in the state’s North-West is the largest operating solar farm in Australia and is visible from outer space.” Minister for Resources and Energy, Don Harwin, added that the popularity of solar power was clear.

  • Speakers Guide Women in Renewables Message from the Chief Executive
    SPEAKERS GUIDE WOMEN IN RENEWABLES MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE The lack of female representation on panels and in speaking positions has always been a key obstacle in fulfilling our vision. Many intelligent, talented and inspirational women work in the renewable energy industry. I meet them every day, in boardrooms and attending industry events. The number is growing all the time, as more women are attracted to work in an industry on the rise. But the number of women speaking at many of those industry remains eclipsed by their male counterparts. This means many audiences are ultimately missing out on the broader range of insights they would enjoy if there was greater gender diversity in the speaking line-up. The Clean Energy Council’s Women in Renewables initiative was started to address imbalances such as these, and I am proud to present the third edition of our Speaker’s Guide.
