Federal Decision on Tasmania Wind Project Delayed
The St Patricks Plains wind project in Tasmania has faced its fifth delay in awaiting a decision under the federal Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.
The project, initially designed for 67 turbines, has been scaled back to 47 turbines with a capacity of 291 megawatts (MW). The decision deadline has been extended to November 28, with both the previous and current delays requested by the project's developer, Ark Energy.
A spokesperson for the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water stated that Ark Energy has been contacted for comment regarding the delays.
The project is located south-east of Milena and 25km north of Bothwell in Tasmania's Central Highlands. It was first deemed to require federal supervision under the EPBC Act in 2019, when it was still owned by Epuron. Ark Energy acquired the project in 2022, contributing to the lengthy delays.
No comment has been received from Ark Energy regarding the delays.
