NSW Independent Planning Commission approves Bowmans Creek Wind Farm in Hunter region

ABC  

In short: A controversial plan for a wind farm in the NSW Upper Hunter has been approved. The company said it was an "exciting achievement" and it looked forward to contributing to the state's renewable energy targets and helping to drive down wholesale electricity prices. "Coal is retiring, it's worn out, it's reached the end of its useful life so we need to crack on with it now," Ark Energy's Head of Development Martin Poole said. Upper Hunter MP Dave Layzell said he was disappointed and "can't stand wind farms at all". "Regional NSW has taken the heavy lifting of the renewable energy transition and this project is one example that really is upsetting the local community," he said.
