A new energy It has its origin in the South of the Land. There is talk of 1,300 MW. In many places in the world, it is taken for granted that pressing a switch will turn on the light, but there are some areas where people struggle every day to perform basic tasks such as cooking, washing clothes or using a computer. This could be our reality if we do not urgently find new forms of energy (like the new Spanish infinite energy that experts found underground).
We have reached this alarming situation as a result of the exacerbated burning of fossil fuels. While it is true that fossil fuels fulfilled their function perfectly in those instances in which we needed to progress, today they are mortal enemies that are destroying several ecosystems and even living beings. Drought, changes in climate, pollution… These are just some of the consequences that we suffer and will continue to suffer if we do not resort to the renewable energies that we know and other new ones.
If we leave things as they are, everyday actions like turning on the light could cost the planet dearly and force us to think about whether we really need it. Furthermore, fossil fuels are finite and exhaustible.
A new energy arrives from the south of the Earth
The company Tag Energy financing of the project closes in Australia largest wind megacomplex in the Southern Hemisphere: 1,333 MW. It was the company itself that recently announced the closing of the financing for Phase 2 of its mega wind complex Golden Plais, composed of two parks. On the one hand, there is Phase 1 (756 megawatts of power) and, on the other, Phase 2 (577 MW).
According to the statement issued by TagEnergy, Golden Plainsname given to what will be the largest wind complex in the entire world. Southern hemispherehas demanded an investment of 4,000 million Australian dollars (the equivalent of 2,462 million euros).
The corporation’s forecast is that this macro-installation will produce electricity equivalent to 9% of the demand of the state of Victoria (6.5 million inhabitants) when the works are completed, a context that is expected for mid-2027.
The mega wind complex Golden Plains, with 1,333 total megawatts, has the necessary financing. Likewise, Phase 2 has all the relevant administrative authorities, so the company contemplates in its plans the installation of the 93 turbines that make up this phase.
It will begin to execute its objective in a “favorable political environment created by the Capacity Investment Plan (Capacity Investment Scheme, CIS), of the Australian government, which is promoting investment in renewable energy generation.”
The Earth sees a new energy reborn
Tag Energy has confirmed that in this Phase 2 the initial agreement made with the Danish manufacturer Vestas is extended to deliver turnkey the wind turbines that will make up the megacomplex. Furthermore, it has announced the appointment of AusNet Services to carry out the network connection works WestWind Energy, as asset manager. With both phases working, the forecast is that more than 350 people will obtain employment.
Golden Plains It is the largest wind project in which Vestas participates all over the world. It should be noted that Vestas is the wind turbine manufacturer with the highest installed power at present.
Phase 1 of the megacomplex is expected to begin pouring electricity into the grid in the first quarter of next year. On the other hand, Phase 2 will begin in mid-2027. TagEnergy guarantees that, once the installation and connection works are completed, Golden Plains It will produce enough electricity to supply the demand of more than 750,000 homes.
In short, the new energy that comes from the South of the Earth It is wind, a type of energy vital for the energy transition.
