Landowners

Increasingly farms across Western Australia are beginning to play a role in meeting the needs of our energy dependent world. Farmers are now more than ever important players in the development of our local wind industry, reflecting a significant change in traditional broad acre land use. These changes can be confronting and it’s natural that they raise questions about how hosting a wind farm may impact existing farming activities and the broader impact to the local community.

The decision to host wind turbines and transmission infrastructure will be one of the most complex and long-term choices many farmers will make for their family. At Green Wind Renewables, we recognise the trust landowners place in us to sensitively develop wind farm projects on the land which deliver material benefits to the landowners, while minimising the impact on existing farming activities. Our experience is that the win-win opportunities are found through an open, transparent and collaborative relationship built with our landowners on a foundation of honesty and trust. Our relationships are long-term, which reflect the enduring nature of the wind farm asset. We look forward to working with you.

Is my property suited to a wind farm?
When determining whether sites are suitable for wind turbines, we take into consideration a number of factors, including the following: Wind Resource: An excellent wind farm site is characterised by consistently strong and predictable wind speeds. Open areas such as farmland, ridges, and coastal regions often provide optimal conditions for harnessing wind energy. The average wind speed is a cru…
How might wind turbines affect my existing farming activities?
The land required for a wind farm is generally minimal. Land is required for the tower and access roads running between each turbine. The permanent gravel hardstand area around wind turbines is typically 0.25ha (80m x 30m) in size, with temporary laydown areas adjacent to the hardstand typically requiring a further 0.2ha (95m x 20m) per turbine during construction.  Access roads between wind …
Why build wind farms in WA?
Building wind farms in Western Australia holds enormous potential for addressing both regional and global challenges. Western Australia boasts vast expanses of open farmland and coastal regions with strong and consistent winds, making it an ideal location for harnessing wind energy. Through the development of wind farms in the state, Western Australia can significantly contribute to the country's …
