𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: Tilt Renewables' 360 MW Rye Park Wind Farm in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales has recorded 20 wedge-tailed eagle deaths within its first 18 months of operations, triggering mandatory state and federal environmental reporting thresholds. The protected birds of prey are colliding with the asset's turbines at a higher-than-expected rate, prompting the developer to prepare a multi-step mitigation strategy with ecological specialists.

RWE has secured federal environmental approval for the proposed A$3 billion Theodore Wind Farm, leaving financing, secondary consents and a final investment decision as the project’s next major tests. #RWE #TheodoreWindFarm #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Queensland #CapacityInvestmentScheme #Xetra #DAX #EnergyInfrastructure

In making plans for where to site renewable energy projects, it's as if Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) does not have the systems, expertise or democratic accountability to determine which land holds high biodiversity, agricultural or heritage value. That's because it doesn't. And for good reason... Read our guest post from Matthew Benetti at Climateworks Centre on why https://lnkd.in/gdnrDMQV

𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: Moonies Hill New Energy has referred the $750 million, 204-megawatt (MW) Kojonup hybrid wind project to Western Australia's Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for final approval. The development cleared the regional planning process in just three months and is targeting a construction start next year, with full commercial operations slated for late 2028 or early 2029.

📣 WFO Floating Offshore Wind Committee’s (FOWC) 7th White Paper release! 🐳🌱Impacts of Floating Offshore Wind: Planning for a Sustainable Source of Energy. 🤝 Developed by the FOWC Subcommittee on Environment, Cohabitation and Biodiversity, chaired by Roland Teixeira de Mattos of EOPSA - European Onshore Power Supply Association, Jean-Philippe Pagot of EDF power solutions, Brian McGrellis of Nadara, Tania Moreira of Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company) and Roeland De Rycker of DEME Group, and managed by WFO's Agni Argyri. 🌬️🌊 #Floatingwind has the potential to represent a sustainable form of energy production. However, no industry or human activity is without impact on people and the environment. This paper explores the known and anticipated impacts of #floatingoffshorewind across three key themes: lifecycle carbon emissions 🔄, marine biodiversity 🪸, and commercial fishing 🎣. It also examines mitigation measures focused on avoiding and minimising negative impacts, while identifying opportunities to generate positive outcomes. 💡There is a unique opportunity at this pre-commercial stage of our industry to embed mitigation measures from the outset, making environmental performance a core component of long-term project viability and industry credibility. With no shortage of innovation in technology, policy and project management, the challenge now lies in implementing solutions at scale and in coordination with other marine resource uses. 👏 An immense thank you to the FOWC members and expert speakers who contributed to our meetings and paper review rounds. The FOWC aims to support the industry in its day-to-day challenges, bringing together players from across the supply chain to share, reflect and improve on their work via online meetings & events. 🔍💬 Contact WFO’s Louise E. to learn more about joining. The White Paper is publicly available to the offshore wind community on our website: https://lnkd.in/eygwJmMU

(TVIRD), received positive assessments during a recent environmental inspection that highlighted its renewable energy investments, rehabilitation efforts, and compliance with environmental standards. Among the key developments reviewed was the newly completed Greenstone Solar Farm, a 5.3-megawatt-peak facility expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 4,100 metric tons annually. The inspection also recognized the company's progressive rehabilitation initiatives and commitment to environmental stewardship. Link in comments for full story.
