Large-scale Onshore Wind Energy
Industrial Offtake Concept
The Northern Territory has world class onshore wind resources and vast land mass with potential for development.
There is an attractive opportunity for investors seeking to enter the growing wind energy market through the development of new greenfield projects.
The proposed model is to supply renewable electricity directly to an industrial off-taker through a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). There is also options to diversify and leverage generation capacity with solar.
The Territory has significant wind energy potential:
- Favourable investment climate with long-term growth potential in the clean energy sector
- Substantial areas with minimum 7+ metre per second average wind speeds at 100m height
- Opportunities to develop wind energy developments of significant scale across the Barkly and Central Australian regions
- Strategic opportunities to locate in close proximity to existing industrial off takers
The Territory offers:
- a secure and stable operating environment with transparent government
- strong regulatory systems and master planning approach to enabling infrastructure
- Investment Type: Greenfield
- Status: Conceptual
- Region: Barkly, Big Rivers, Central Australia
- Sector Type: Energy
- Project Value: Varied
