Mainstream Renewable Power and Someva Renewables have secured a permit to investigate a 500MW wind farm project in New South Wales, Australia. The Sunny Corner project, located between Lithgow and Bathurst, aims to power 300,000 homes and offset more than a million tonnes of carbon emissions annually. This wind farm will be one of the first within the New South Wales state plantation forest. The project received the permit after a competitive tender process and will involve engaging with local stakeholders for community collaboration. The development process will include planning approvals from the New South Wales government. The permit marks a significant step forward since the parliament amended the Forestry Act in 2021 to allow renewable energy projects in state forests. The project is a joint venture between Mainstream Renewable Power and Someva Renewables, with the forest chosen for its ideal conditions for wind farms. The project aims to support the transition to renewable energy in New South Wales by providing clean, affordable, and reliable power.
