A massive wind farm that generates enough energy to power 305,000 homes could be under construction as early as next year.
Details of the Lotus Creek Wind Farm project have been detailed as the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment seeks public comment on the development.
The referral documents detail the wind farm would consist of 55 wind turbines, each with a production capacity of about seven megawatts, and would be built on a sprawling Nebo-Connors Range between St Lawrence in the east, and Lotus Creek in the west.
“The wind farm would assist the Queensland Government to achieve its target of 50 per cent renewable energy generation by 2030, contributing towards reduced greenhouse has emissions,” documents stated.
