Alinta Energy has entered into a conditional power purchase master
agreement with Future Energy for over 35MW of wind power from six small
wind farms in Victoria.
The Maroona Wind Farm, south west of Ararat in
Victoria, will be the first of the projects to come on-stream between
mid-2017 and 2018. Once built, the ~6MW wind farm will connect to the
existing electricity network in the area and will produce the equivalent
energy usage of around 4,000 households.
Jeff Dimery, Alinta
Energy’s CEO said, “Alinta has been actively growing its renewables
position and this agreement reflects a further step in our commitment to
renewable energy.”
This agreement builds on a number of existing
off-take agreements already in place to purchase electricity (along with
large scale generation certificates), for example:
-89MW from Walkaway Wind Farm in Western Australia, and
-106MW from Bald Hills Wind Farm in Victoria.
In
November 2016, Alinta also announced a binding agreement to acquire an
option over the rights to the (up to 300MW) Yandin Wind Farm development
in Western Australia.
