Acknowledgements We would like to thank Monica Richter (World Wide Fund for Nature and the Science Based Targets Initiative), Anna Freeman (Clean Energy Council), and Ben Skinner and Rhys Thomas (Australian Energy Council) for kindly reviewing this report. We value the input from these reviewers but note the report’s findings and analysis are those of ClimateWorks Australia. We also thank the organisations listed for reviewing and providing feedback on information about their climate commitments and actions. This report is part of a series focusing on sectors within the Australian economy. Net Zero Momentum Tracker – an initiative of ClimateWorks Australia with the Monash Sustainable Development Institute – demonstrates progress towards net zero emissions in Australia. It brings together and evaluates climate action commitments made by Australian businesses, governments and other organisations across major sectors. Sector reports from the project to date include: property, banking, superannuation, local government, retail, transport, resources and energy. The companies assessed by the Net Zero Momentum Tracker represent 61 per cent of market capitalisation in the ASX200, and are accountable for 61 per cent of national emissions. Achieving net zero emissions prior to 2050 will be a key element of Australia’s obligations under the Paris Agreement on climate (UNFCCC 2015). The goal of the agreement is to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to strive for 1.5 degrees. 2 Overall, energy sector commitments are insufficient for Australia to achieve a Paris-aligned SUMMARY transition to net zero. Australia’s energy sector This report finds none of the companies assessed are fully aligned with the Paris climate goals, and must accelerate its pace of most fall well short of these.

No Wind Turbines Following a Community Meeting About the Western Plains Wind Farm Proposal, Held in Stanley on Sunday 11 July 2021
Responses to questions submitted to Epuron by Respect Stanley Peninsula - No Wind Turbines following a community meeting about the Western Plains Wind Farm proposal, held in Stanley on Sunday 11 July 2021. Response date: 10 August 2021 Questions lodged after the meeting: Question 1 Is the connection asset going to be part of the shared network? (Epuron have stated the underground line will be built, owned and operated by TasNetworks – June 2020 newsletter). A: No, the proposed new underground powerline will be a dedicated line to connect the Western Plains Wind Farm to the Port Latta substation. It is part of the proposal and will not be part of a shared network, although ultimately it is likely to be owned and operated by TasNetworks. Question 2 Has Epuron filed a connections application with TasNetworks? A: Connection studies in preparation for a connection application are well advanced and once these have been completed a connection application will be filed with TasNetworks. Question 3 Is TasNetworks going to pay for the installation of the approx. 25km underground line? If not, who will pay for the installation? A: No. As per response to Q.1 the proposed underground powerline is part of the project and will be paid for by the owner of the project. 1 Question 4 Has TasNetworks committed to delivering the connection asset underground and upgrading the Port Latta substation? (It is our understanding that this would be determined by the Regulatory Investment Test and this would ensure that the connection asset would be delivered at cost that is in the long-term benefits of Tasmanian consumers.

Discussion Paper on Renewable Energy Policy in the Planning And
From: Andrew Lothian To: SA Planning Commission Subject: ACK"D 22/8 - LH to save in KNET - Renewable Energy Policy Date: Thursday, 22 August 2019 11:37:44 AM Attachments: Wind farm report.pdf Discussion Paper on Proposed Changes to Renewable Energy Policy in the Planning and Design Code I have a particular interest in the visual impact of wind farms, having conducted several surveys, using public preferences, of their visual impact, both here in South Australia and interstate. I attach a copy of the report of the 2018 survey which showed a high level of support for wind farms, even in areas of relatively high landscape quality. I note that the Discussion Paper states: “current planning policies do not specifically restrict solar farms from being developed in more environmentally sensitive zones or where landscape character attributes are more prominent and worthy of greater protections.” While this relates to solar farms, it should apply equally to wind farms. The Paper also states: “The Significant Landscape Protection Overlay will identify significant landscapes in which wind farms are discouraged.” South Australia’s coast is an important landscape resource with areas of the high landscape quality including the west coast of Eyre Peninsula, parts of Kangaroo Island and the South East. I conducted research to measure and map the State’s coastal viewscapes for the Coast Protection Board and the report is available at my website: www.scenicsolutions.world/projects There is a real risk that in the future, large scale wind farms will become viable on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula and as this contains some of South Australia’s most outstanding landscapes, this would affect them adversely.
