WaterNSW, through its Renewable Energy and Storage Program, is seeking investment in renewable energy generation and storage assets on WaterNSW land.
This includes land around Burrendong Dam and based on this opportunity, Epuron is participating in WaterNSW’s process and has revised the Burrendong Onshore Wind Farm proposal to incorporate additional wind turbine locations on adjacent WaterNSW land. The expanded design includes up to 105 wind turbines with an expected output capacity of 650 MW.
Updated requirements for the project’s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIS) are due to be issued by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment. In the meantime, assessments and specialist reports for the project are being modified to reflect the expanded project.
