Victoria modify large-scale wind and solar power planning rules

Solar photovoltaic webex: Victoria announced the government has set up a planning mechanism, to ensure that the state of large-scale renewable energy planning of properly, and can meet the needs of the local community.

planning minister rids Wynne said, has been to the state planning rules were modified, in order to ensure that now connected to the new large generators and power grid transmission line need planning permission. Before, below 220000 v transmission line does not need planning permission.

　　“ Victoria's renewable energy development is rapid, so we need to ensure that planning process in place, to ensure the safety of the new development projects, requirements, and also need to respect the nearby communities throughout the &; Planning minister rids Wynne said.

in order to deal with in the process of determine the route of transmission line without the concerns of the public participation, and grid expansion occurred in unregulated way, introduced to another modification of planning rules.

according to the new rules, the need for new transmission lines connected to the grid wind or solar power plants will be through the transparent planning evaluation process, to ensure that listen to the opinions of the community, and reduce the potential impact.

energy, environment and climate change minister Lily D’ Victoria Ambrosio, said the move to support the large-scale renewable energy boom is necessary, Victoria will change the state's energy networks in the next few years.

she said: & other; Now, through the establishment of planning mechanism, we can make sure our new solar and wind power station at the start of the important work before they have the right infrastructure, then sends electricity will be back to Victoria's energy grid. ”

Victoria as renewable energy target from 40% growth in 2025 to 50% last year, 2030, the Labour government of Victoria, said in four years has built 732 mw of new renewable energy capacity. It is reported that more than 3000 MW of renewable energy is building or are signing the contract.
