Why do we need the Renewable
Energy Target?

Energy Target?
A few quick words about policy
5
History of the MRET
Howard’s original policy was very
successful- the 2% Target was reached in
2006. Growth in the industry greatly
reduced as REC price dropped as target
reached
www.suzlon.com6
In 2007 Kevin Rudd announced policy
plans for a second MRET- 20% of
electricity consumption by 2020 to
come from renewable energy
Why do we need the RET?

Why do we need the RET?

Without long term certainty and a
functioning incentive scheme, wind
farms will not be built.

farms will not be built.
This is why the RET is important to our
industry.

Three defined stages in the life of a wind farm:
• Development (3-5 years)
Typical life of a wind farm

• Development (3-5 years)
• Construction (1½-3 years)
• Operation (+25 years )
Focus of the presentation is on construction and
operation

Foundations

• Wind turbines require stable foundations at their base to hold them in
place to stop high winds from toppling them over.
• Suzlon S88 turbines weigh over 270 tonnes and stand 124 metres high to
the tip of the blade.

On-going operation and maintenance
• On going service and maintenance throughout the life of the farm
www.suzlon.com
• 24/7 monitoring centre in Melbourne
• Economic stimulus for the region continues for the operational life of the infrastructure
Around the clock monitoring
www.suzlon.com46
Operation
• 25 year project lifespan typical for projects
• Wind turbine Power Performance Testing
• Post construction sound pressure level
testing

testing
• Usually a tech for each 7 turbines
• Community fund for the life of the project
• On-going environmental management of site
• Potential for turbine upgrades

Local benefits
Local benefits to wind farm projects exist and they are considerable.
JOBS:
-Specialist technicians
-Electricians
- Freight operators
- Machine operators
- General labourers
Other benefits:
-Community funds
-Landowner payments
- Stimulus of local industries
-Hospitality
-Accommodation
www.suzlon.com
Wind farms deliver much substantial than the
community benefits from coal/gas generation projects.
48
- General labourers
-Concrete businesses
-Engineering & Geotech
-Accommodation
-Equipment hire
- 4 wind farms 209 turbines ~440 MW
- Wind farming provided an annual increase of between
more than 1% each year to the region’s Gross Regional
Product over the approx 10 year project span
