Federal initiatives to drive renewable energy(~$20-$30 billion)
• Renewable Energy Target:split from Jan 2011Wholesalers must buy9,500 GWh (2010) and
45,000 GWh (2020)Small RET 4,000 GWhLarge RET 41,000 GWh
• $5.1 bn Clean Energy Initiative

• 55 wind farms operating• Total installed capacity is 1,880 MW
• 1,056 wind turbines• Around 10,000 MW wind needed to meet
20% renewable energy target by 2020

How can Wind Energy not be backed up?• Necessary back-up generation and grid stability
equipment is already in place today
• Sized to replace the instantaneous loss of 600MW CoalFired Generators
• Compensating for a 140MW wind farm’s generationfalling 20-30MW in 30 seconds due to lower wind speedsis trivial, by comparison
• AGL reports that recent wind energy facilities in SA haveeliminated the need for a new 300MW gas firedgeneration plant in SA

Wind Turbine WorkingsNoise Noise at the base of a modern turbine is below 35dBA ~ same as traffic 5km
away (NSW most stringent noise requirements of any state in the world
BaseLoad Electricity supply is managed in 5 minute intervals & wind reduces demand oncoal & gas whenever it blows with fast-response gas plants likely in the future
Energy With a 20 + year life span the turbine will produce 80 times more energy than isused for its construction & operation
Wildlife A 2007 study by the Government of South Australia shows one domestic catkills more birds in a year than one wind turbine
Safety 24-hour monitoring, lightning protection, high winds shut down, low flammability

Clean Energy Jobs Study
What does this mean for employment?
•NSW as a whole: A net increase of up to 6,900new jobs
– Permanent jobs: 1,304 – Construction jobs: 4,463 – Manufacturing jobs: 1,200
(net numbers for the power sector as a whole, includingthe shift from coal to renewables and gas)
•New England North West: over 1,700 newrenewable energy jobs – Permanent jobs: 598 – Construction jobs: 1,107
