Mount Alexander Community Wind
Mount Alexander Community Wind is a community-based project with a vision to establish a locally ownd and operated wind farm to supply the energy needs of Mount Alexander Shire. Clean, renewable energy will be generated to replace energy derived from burning non-renewable brown coal.
We are currently at the stage of gathering community interest and input. We do not currently have a site. Preliminary analysis by our team of professionals indicates that there are several areas in our shire that will offer good wind speeds as well as meeting strong social, technical, legal and environmental standards.
