Energy hub moved to 'reduce potential impacts on private landowners'
- EnergyCo and Origin Energy relocated the New England REZ's north energy hub to Origin's Warrane property near Armidale in 2025 to reduce impacts on landowners and the Boorolong community.
- This relocation followed extensive consultation with landowners and the community, aiming to balance technical, environmental, and social considerations, as emphasized by EnergyCo’s deputy project director Julian Watson.
- The north hub, one of four essential substations within the REZ, gathers power generated by local wind and solar farms and feeds it into the grid; its placement alongside the Northern Tablelands Wind Farm helps minimize construction impacts.
- Julian Watson emphasized the importance of integrating input from landowners and the community with technical and environmental knowledge to effectively design a project of this scale, while Greg Jarvis underscored that cooperation among renewable energy developers, EnergyCo, landowners, and local residents is vital for the New England REZ’s successful implementation.
- The relocation initiates ongoing cooperation among EnergyCo, Origin, landowners, and the local community to support the New England REZ’s objective of delivering cost-effective, renewable power to the grid.
