Planning, Developing and Constructing Wind Farms in Australia

Securing Financial Investment, Choosing Project Delivery Model and Gaining Community Buy In

Wind Farm developers in Australia are facing a hard battle for their place in the energy market. However, advanced turbine technology and government investment in wind power research are enabling new wind project to be developed nationwide.

Now Wind Energy Developers are looking how to:

  • Secure financial backing and facilitate permit agreements to ensure project success
  • Choose the best project delivery model to fast track construction and ensure bankability
  • Ensure local community buy-in to your Wind Farm project

Energy IQ’s third annual Wind Farms conference, taking place in Melbourne on 29th & 30th May 2012, will address these issues to help your wind project move from planned to operational.
