Jim’s Plain Renewable Energy Park receives final approval
We've welcomed the sign-off of the development approval by the Commonwealth Government for Jim’s Plain Renewable Energy Park. This is the third and final approval required for the project with the Tasmanian EPA and Circular Head Council recently approving the project. Jim’s Plain Renewable Energy Park will potentially have up to 31 wind turbines and solar with a capacity of up to 240 megawatts, which represents a potential investment of around $350 million.
