Vision & Purpose~ a vision is emerging for the New England to

become a net exporter of renewable energy ~

Some $10-20Bn of investment into commerciarenewable energy projects is anticipated.

New England Wind aims to catch this wind,& build on the take-up of small-scale solar,

to be NSW's 1st community wind farm,

with 4-6 turbines,powering 20% of the Tablelands' homes.

Definitions of CommunityA group of people living in the same locality or

under the same local government areaa geographic community, eg. New England

A social group or class having commoncharacteristics

a cultural or social community, eg. Aboriginal

Any group having common interests or similarities

a community of interest, eg. the scientific

Joint participation or common ownership

Society as a whole ~ the public

Scope of Community Energy

Project & technology scaled to 'community'

'Community' approach to project processes &outcomes

The Three Ds:

Distributed generation

Democratised governance

Decarbonised energy

'Community' users of energyBenefits for 'community'

About Wind Power

Highly efficient turbine technology ~ 45% of wind energy

electricity (coal-fired power 29-37%)

16 countries (including Australia) have more than1,000 MW of installed wind capacity

Sth

Oz & Denmark produce 20% of their electricity with wNSW's largest is Capital Wind Farm with 141MW ~enough for 60,000 households

Most affordable renewable energy &the only clean technology ready forlarge-scale deployment

Wind Turbine Workings


36/41

Wind Turbine WorkingsNoise Noise at the base of a modern turbine is below 35dBA ~ same as traffic 5km away (N

has the most stringent noise requirements for wind turbines of any state in the world)

Base Load Electricity supply is managed in 5 minute intervals & wind power reduces demand oncoal & gas plants whenever it blows with fast-response gas plants likely in the future

EmbodiedEnergy

With a 20+ year life span the turbine will produce 80 times more energy than is used foit's construction & operation

Wildlife A 2007 study by the Government of South Australia shows one domestic cat kills morebirds in a year than one wind turbine

Safety 24-hour monitoring, lightening protection, high winds shut down, low flammability
