NSW OKs Liverpool Range Wind Farm expansion

Fewer but more powerful turbines will be installed.

The New South Wales government has approved the modification of the Liverpool Range Wind Farm, expanding its maximum energy generation capacity by 370 megawatts to 1.3 gigawatts.

According to NSW, the number of turbines to be installed will be reduced from 267 to 185 to lessen the visual impacts. Still, these will be more efficient and will each have an increased maximum height from 165 to 215 metres.

Developer Tilt Renewables applied for modification in 2022.

The large-scale wind farm located northeast of Mudgee will generate electricity that can power over 700,000 homes. It is expected to prevent 2.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions during its first full year of operation.

The $2b project will create 550 construction jobs and 47 operational jobs for the Central West economy.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
