Some $10-20Bn of investment into commercial renewable energy projects is anticipated in the next decade, more than 1,000 wind turbines. The New England Community Wind Farm is linked to this wave and to build upon the significant take-up of micro-generation and solar farms in recent years. Funding has been secured to undertake Phase1 of work ~ a comprehensive Study to quantify the level of community support and research co-operative and other possible community ownership structures. The goal is to establish Australia's second community owned wind farm with four-to-six 2MW turbines ~ enough power for 3-5,000 homes ~ for an investment of $25-$30m.view less
