Wind Energy in NSW: Myths and Facts
Wind Energy in NSW: Myths and Facts 1 INTRODUCTION Wind farms produce clean energy, generate jobs and income in regional areas and have minimal environmental impacts if appropriately located. Wind farms are now increasingly commonplace and accepted by communities in many parts of the world, but they are quite new to NSW. To increase community understanding and involvement in renewable energy, the NSW Government has established six Renewable Energy Precincts in areas of NSW with the best known wind resources. As part of the Renewable Energy Precincts initiative, the NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) has compiled the following information to increase community understanding about wind energy. The technical information has been reviewed by the Centre for Environmental and Energy Markets, University of NSW. The Wind Energy Fact Sheet is a shorter and less technical brochure based on the Wind Energy in NSW: Myths and Facts. The brochure is available for download at www.environment.nsw.gov.au/resources/climatechange/10923windfacts.pdf.

The AEMC appointed consultants to develop a long-term generation expansion plan for meeting the LRET. Consequently, the ‘core’ scenarios for the portfolio and geographic distribution of technologies have been determined. ROAM Consulting was subsequently appointed to utilise these scenarios to forecast the cost of Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS), Network Support and Control Ancillary Services (NSCAS) and transmission augmentation associated with the LRET for the National Electricity Market (NEM) and the South West Interconnected System (SWIS).
