Proposed wind farm in Scott River


Proposed Wind Farm in Scott River

The West Australian government plans to close all government-owned coal-fired power stations by 2030. Synergy’s decarbonisation strategy means we’re continually looking for opportunities to expand our fleet of renewable generation assets.

To help support this strategy, Synergy has delivered a feasibility assessment for a potential wind farm in Scott River. The assessment explored a range of social, community, technical and environmental factors to determine whether a wind farm in Scott River is feasible.

Snapshot

  • Up to 20 turbines
  • Up to 100 MW
  • Turbine height up to 250 m
  • $100,000 annual Community Benefit Fund
  • Approximately 150 jobs during construction

Wind farm approvals

A Development Approval application has been submitted to the Shire of Augusta Margaret River and Regional Development Assessment Panel. A public comment period is now underway until Friday 19 November at 4pm. For more information on how to submit a comment visit their website: Synergy Wind Farm | Have Your Say Augusta Margaret River

Synergy has referred the proposed wind farm to the Environmental Protection Authority for approval. For more information visit their website: Wind Farm in Scott River | EPA Western Australia

Synergy has also referred the proposed wind farm to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW). Information will be published on their website as determined by DCCEEW. All EPBC Projects · EPBC Act Public Portal

Visuals

Synergy conducted a landscape and visual impact assessment. The purpose of this assessment is to understand if the wind turbines would be visible from key locations. Viewpoints were selected where turbines would be most likely to be seen.

The following images have been developed with software to represent views of the proposed wind farm. These images depict a maximum number of 20 turbines at the maximum possible height of 250m. The final number and height of the turbines will be determined based on the results of the feasibility assessment and manufacturer availability.
