Clarke Creek Wind Farm Agreement Good for Jobs and Power Prices in Queensland
Solar Citizens has today welcomed an agreement between Goldwind and Stanwell Corporation for the supply of power from Goldwind’s Clarke Creek wind farm in the north of Rockhampton.
"It’s great to see Stanwell Corporation supporting the development of clean cheap energy in Queensland. The Clarke Creek wind farm will provide much-needed jobs and investment for both Rockhampton and Mackay, and will assist with driving down power prices for Queenslanders," said Solar Citizens' National Director, Ellen Roberts.
"Construction is due to begin on the Clarke Creek project next year, contributing to Queensland’s economic recovery from COVID-19.
"In addition to supporting private projects, Queensland’s government-owned generators, Stanwell and CS Energy are champing at the bit to be building and owning their own renewable energy."

Both Stanwell and CS Energy own coal-fired power stations in Queensland.
"It’s time for the State Government to allow them to build publicly-owned renewables, particularly as the latest data shows the Sunshine State is not on track to achieve it’s 50% by 2030 renewable energy target," said Ms Roberts.
