Project development is underway for the proposed Bookham Wind Farm, located on Ngunnawal Country, around 30km west of Yass, NSW. Once complete, the 594MW wind farm will produce enough electricity to power around 321,000 NSW homes and prevent 322,000 tonnes of emissions annually. We thank all those who came to the Community Drop-In Session last week and provided valuable feedback on the project. More info: https://lnkd.in/gCg9aqef

Congratulations to all the reciepients of the Chloe Munro Scholarship for Transformational Leadership at last week's Women in Renewables luncheon during All Energy Australia. Our very own Senior Project Manager, Laura Jeffrey 🌈 chaired the panel discussion featuring other industry leaders driving crucial change as we transition to a clean energy future.

Squadron Energy CEO Rob Wheals joined Jennifer Hewett at Day 1 of the #AFREnergyClimateSummit to discuss the once in a generation opportunity the energy transition brings, reiterating that as a sector we need to lift our game and stay the course. "This is an endurance race, not a sprint, and we can't get it wrong as the cost of doing nothing is too great. You don't set out on an endurance race and give up when it gets tough."

Our Regional Economic Development Facilitator, Bart Sykes met with Dubbo Regional Council's Director Strategy Partnerships and Engagement Jessica Brown and U.S Consul General, Christine Elder to highlight our commitment to working together for benefit sharing and economic legacy. Together, with Jessica, we were able to highlight the many benefits our collaborative approach is fostering in the region, including: 👉 Water security through a public private partnership to build a new advanced wastewater treatment facility at Dubbo Sewerage Treatment Plant 👉 Accommodation solutions that benefit the region and leave legacies 👉 Highlighting the opportunities for local people and local businesses to benefit from the renewable roll out

We're proud to have supported the Wellington Warriors Football Club celebrate their end of season presentation. Through our community sponsorship program, the club was able to present all players with end of season trophies and backpacks. We have also partnered with the Yindamarra Healing Aboriginal Men’s Group to supply garden maintenance equipment, lawn mowers and whipper snippers for their ‘Free Mow Friday’ initiative, where each week group members mow three lawns in the community at no cost. 👇 Read more in the latest community newsletter: https://lnkd.in/gjpW4Syc

Project update: Stage One of our Clarke Creek Wind Farm has successfully completed generation registration with the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) for the project's central substation. ✅ This step paves the way for the project to participate in National Electricity Market and begin grid testing. ✅ It also means the project will start generating and exporting renewable energy as it progresses through the grid testing process. ✅Which means some of our turbines onsite will start to spin for the first time!

The ACCC update on east coast gas supply-demand shows the need for urgent action. "A reduced gas supply surplus in the 2025 low season is a red flag we just can’t afford to ignore," according to Squadron Energy CEO Rob Wheals. Our Port Kembla Energy Terminal is the only solution capable of resolving this looming domestic gas shortage. Read more: https://bit.ly/4elfMzo

Squadron Energy welcomes the findings from the latest Quarterly Carbon Market Report from the Clean Energy Regulator which shows that approved renewable capacity is increasing. “Final investment decisions for large-scale renewables continue to step up this year. In the first half of 2024, 1.8 GW of capacity reached a final investment decision. This is greater than the total 1.6 GW that reached a final investment decision in 2023.” Squadron Energy is committed to delivering our projects in a timely manner and to continue our efforts to deliver a substantial pipeline of renewable energy generation. We have two wind farms currently under construction which will deliver almost 900 megawatts of capacity into the National Electricity Market (NEM), in addition to five wind farms in operation and an expansive development pipeline on the east coast of wind, solar and battery projects.
