WORK on the $270 million Musselroe Wind Farm in Tasmania's far North-East is to start later this year. Energy Minister David Llewellyn told Parliament yesterday that Hydro Tasmania's half-owned subsidiary Roaring 40s had secured all project rights, including the vital land agreement, earlier this week.
Roaring 40s is now in negotiations for supply of the turbines and signing contracts for the renewable energy generated from the coastal wind farm with New South Wales. "The project is proceeding well with strong support from the local council and the community," Mr Llewellyn said. The Liberal Opposition welcomed the news that the wind farm construction was to start soon.
