SEC to build Delburn Wind Farm in Gippsland
SEC will deliver Victoria’s first publicly owned, utility-scale wind generation project after announcing its 100 per cent acquisition of the Delburn Wind Farm in Gippsland today.
Beyond delivering clean energy to around 125,000 Victorian homes, Delburn Wind Farm is committed to a holistic benefit-sharing model based around sharing the profits of the wind farm fairly and creating a positive long-term legacy in the region. Delburn Wind Farm also recognises the existing work of local sustainability and community energy groups and hopes to partner with them around the community co-investment initiative.
Delburn Wind Farm values the community’s contribution to the development of the project, and is engaging with the community to ensure that the Delburn Wind Farm project is well supported and designed appropriately, and to that benefit sharing is tailored for the local context. Local staff have been appointed to enable community participation in the development of the wind farm and a local project office has been opened for a permanent presence within the community. Stop by the office for more information, to ask questions, or just to have a chat.
The project partners for the Delburn Wind Farm values the community’s contribution to the development of this exciting initiative. Learn about the project, how it will benefit the community and ways to stay informed about the latest developments.
