Flow Power has announced that it has agreed to terms to contract 50 MW of the output and associated Large Scale Generation Certificates from the 270 MW Sapphire Wind Farm, located in the New England region of northern New South Wales, south-east Australia.
Sapphire Wind Farm is owned by Grassroots Renewable Energy, a joint venture of CWP Renewables and Partners Group. It is currently under construction and due for completion this year. When complete, this large-scale renewable energy project will provide enough clean energy to power around 115,000 homes and displace 700,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.
As the largest wind farm in New South Wales, it will help the ACT Government meet its target of 100% renewables by 2020.
Flow Power now has three wind offerings in three respective states – Ararat in Victoria, Australia’s third largest wind farm, Lakeland in Queensland, and now Sapphire in New South Wales. The deal builds momentum for the company’s Corporate Renewable Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), which it first introduced to the Australian market in 2017.
