Dairy cattle grazing under these towers at Ravenshoe FNQ, had their milk production reduced by 25 per cent due to blade noise. The renewables fraud is as malignant as the Covid scamdemic yet dumbed-down Queenslanders just roll over. Fluoride has done its job.
Queensland Labor has today committed to almost doubling Wambo Wind farm in Queensland’s southwest, adding enough generation to the overall project to power the equivalent of 312,000 homes with renewable energy once complete.
Queensland Labor has previously committed to the Wambo, 42 wind turbine farm at Jandowae, however today’s announcement will see the project nearly doubling, with a further 41 turbines to be added to the site.
Jandowae, NW of Dalby has some of the best farming soils in Australia. Metres thick black, cracking clay soils produce some of the best wheat and barley in the world, but the UN ALP thinks otherwise.
The environmental damage caused by construction of these 250 metre high monoliths is unimaginable, yet the disingenuous Greens say nothing. There will be many kilometres of roads through pristine cattle pastures and prime farming land, then the power lines, like some prehistoric spider web criss-cross highly valuable wheat producing paddocks as a terrible, wanton waste and a damning indictment to the UN LibLab nexus.
Households to save $150 a year by 2032
Thanks to the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan, and renewable energy projects including Wambo Stages 1 and 2, households are set to save about $150 each year by 2032, while small businesses will see a reduction of around $1,495 off their annual power bills.
This saving on bills is as irrelevant as Queensland Labor will be by 2032. With inflation soaring under debt finance policies of LibLab and if the towers are still functioning power will be so expensive only politicians and bureaucrats will afford it.
Additionally, wholesale prices will decrease by approximately 15% by 2040 thanks to Queensland’s plan to transition to renewable energy.
Doubling the size of Wambo means the facility will generate 506MW of energy by 2026, with the 83 turbines towering 247m up in the air.
The wind farm, which features some of the largest onshore wind turbines in the nation, will contribute to Queensland’s targets 70% renewables by 2032.
The project will boost the local economy, with about 200 direct construction jobs, and up to 500 more indirect jobs during the multi-year build.
Foundations for the first wind turbines on Stage One are now underway, while construction of Stage Two is expected to commence in mid-2024.
Commercial operation of Stage 1 is set for 2025, while stage 2 is set for 2026, with the project expected to create an additional 8 ongoing jobs.
The project is being delivered in partnership between publicly owned energy company, Stanwell Corporation, and global sustainable developers, Cubico.
Under the venture, Stanwell will own 50 per cent of the energy produced, and will purchase the rest of the power from Cubico under a 15-year agreement.
Wambo Wind Farm stages 1 and 2 are backed by a $455 million investment from the Queensland Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Jobs Fund for Stanwell’s share in the project.
