MacIntyre Wind Farm
Project Details
About ACCIONA
In Australia, ACCIONA has constructed four wind farms and a 20 MW solar farm. The wind farms include Waubra in Victoria, Gunning in New South Wales, Cathedral Rocks in South Australia, Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm in Victoria and construction of a fifth wind farm is underway in Mortlake, Victoria. Collectively, ACCIONA has over 450 MW of operational renewable energy assets in Australia.
About MacIntyre Wind Farm
The MacIntyre Wind Farm will be located within 40,000 hectares of leased land approximately 200 kms south-west of Brisbane and approximately 50 kms south-west of Warwick in Queensland. ACCIONA plans to submit a development application seeking a development permit for a Material Change of Use (MCU) to allow construction and operation of the wind farm to the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) in early 2020. The project is expected to produce 540 MW of clean energy with up to 120 turbines and commence construction at the end of 2020 with a construction duration of 18-24 months.
This project will provide significant economic activity across the Goondiwindi, Southern Downs and Toowoomba Regional Council areas, generate a construction workforce of up to 350 jobs with up to 12 fulltime positions on site once operational. ACCIONA will provide a Community Enhancement Program to strategically deliver added value to the local regional over the life cycle of the project, whilst providing clean energy equivalent to the consumption of around 200,000 homes
The project will deliver significant economic benefits to the region, including the creation of jobs, rates to the local government, rent to participating landowners.
