A national wind farm industry body says South Australian projects are in jeopardy because of a Federal Government decision to block a wind farm in Victoria. The Government rejected the application for the farm because of a perceived threat to the endangered orange bellied parrot.
The chief executive officer of the Australian Wind Energy Association, Dominique La Fontaine, says the decision has already put the nail in the coffin for a farm in South Australia's south-east.
Ms La Fontaine says the renewable energy industry will not grow without more state and Federal Government support. "There is no further incentive and we are very concerned about the fact that at the moment there's no further development," she said. "The Federal Government could become involved by providing additional policy support and financial incentives and we'd like very much to talk about that as soon as possible."
