Palmer Wind Farm – Project benefits
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.
Environmental benefits
The Palmer Wind Farm would produce enough clean energy to power about 142,000 homes.
Every year it will avoid 305,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, the same as taking 100,000 cars off the road.
Jobs and local investment
The Palmer Wind Farm would create approximately 200+ jobs during construction. This is in addition to the flow on jobs that would be created by regional procurement.
The project has committed to spending at least $627.5 million on local content and employment in construction. Local includes Australia and New Zealand.
Typical goods and services likely to be sourced locally during construction and operations include accommodation, engineering, freight services, construction materials and equipment, local labour, technical contractors, earth works services, fencing and landscaping.
The types of jobs typically created during construction include:
- Domestic scale electricians
- Transport operators
- Competent machine operators
- General labourers
- Quarrying staff
- Concrete suppliers
- Accommodation providers
