Griffin Energy, in a Joint Development with Stanwell Corporation, is proposing to develop a new wind farm near Badgingarra, approximately 200 kilometres north of Perth.
The proposed new Badgingarra Wind Farm is expected to be commissioned in late 2012 and will produce up to 130 megawatts of renewable energy, helping to meet WA’s growing energy needs.
The output of the wind farm is the equivalent of the power required for more than 80,000 homes and will save around 455,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per annum.
The Badgingarra Wind Farm will assist the State Government to meet its planned renewable energy target of 15% by 2020 and support the national renewable target of 20% by 2020.
The project is the second renewable energy joint venture between Stanwell Corporation and Griffin Energy. The two companies already own and operate the 80 megawatt Emu Downs Wind Farm five kilometres to the south of the planned Badgingarra Wind Farm.
The Badgingarra Wind Farm is a key component of Griffin Energy’s vision of providing competitive, reliable and sustainable energy to Western Australia.
