Musselroe on the Go!

The Minister for Energy, David Llewellyn, today happily announced that the Musselroe Wind Farm is again heading in the right direction.
Mr Llewellyn said all project rights, including the land agreement, for the project were secured earlier this week.
“Of course, the project would almost certainly be commission by now had the Federal Government accepted the findings of its own expert report and supported the Mandatory Renewable Energy Target.
“Nevertheless the project is proceeding well, with strong support from the local council and community.
“Currently, pre-construction activities are progressing well, including environmental surveys and transmission line mapping,” Mr Llewellyn said.
Roaring 40s is now presently in negotiations for the remaining two key elements of the project, including:
· securing the turbine supply contract for the project; and
· securing suitable off-take arrangements for the project under the proposed New South Wales Renewable Energy Target.
“Subject to confirmation of these arrangements, Roaring 40s hopes to commence construction in late 2007.”
