Environmental benefits
The Palmer Wind Farm would produce enough clean energy to power about 144,000 homes.
Every year it will avoid 305,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, the same as taking 144,000 cars off the road.
Tilt Renewables is committed to sharing the benefits of our projects with the local and regional community. While renewable energy brings environmental benefits, the Palmer Wind Farm will also bring employment opportunities and a community benefits plan that aims to strengthen the local community.
