Infigen Energy receives approval for Woodlawn wind power in Australia

Infigen Energy Managing Director, Miles George said, “Infigen has a strong track record of developing, owning and operating utility-scale wind farms in Australia, and we are very pleased to have received final development approval for the Woodlawn wind farm."

IFN expects to commence construction of the wind farm when outstanding commercial arrangements are settled and subject to satisfactory resolution of the Federal Government’s proposed amendments to the Renewable Energy Target (RET) scheme introduced into Parliament yesterday.

Mr George said “It is critical that the Government’s proposed changes to the RET scheme are passed in the winter sittings of Parliament to enable the renewable energy industry to get on with delivering 20% of Australia’s electricity from renewable resources like wind energy by 2020. We are strongly supportive of the Government’s proposal which underpins continued growth of a sustainable utility-scale renewable energy industry in Australia with associated investment, employment, training and education benefits for many regional areas.”

Further details on the Woodlawn wind farm will be announced when IFN has made a final investment decision to proceed with construction of the wind energy project.
