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

Community drop-in sessions

Synergy has completed the feasibility assessment for the proposed wind farm in Scott River. Thank you to those who attended the September community drop-in sessions at which the findings were shared with the community.

Wind farm approvals

Synergy has referred the proposed wind farm to the Environmental Protection Authority for approval. A public comment period is now advertised through their website which is linked below. Please visit their website to submit a comment or to view the reports completed as part of the feasibility assessment.

A Development Approval application has been submitted to the Shire of Augusta Margaret River and Regional Development Assessment Panel. A public comment period will be advertised through their website once open.

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.
