Location Information
- The NSW Government has created the South West Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) that has very good wind resource and allocated transmission lines for the generated electricity
- The BaldonWind Farm is located within this South West REZ.
- Along with other proposed transmission lines, Project EnergyConnectwill unlock up to 1.2 gigawattsof additional capacity (in addition to the existing ‘X5’ transmission line
- These 2 transmission lines run through the site, reducing the scope of civil/electric balance of plant
