AGL Energy Ltd is investigating a stage five expansion to its Hallet wind farm in South Australia as the company aims to have almost half of its power generated from renewables by 2020.

Australia's largest power retailer yesterday officially opened its $236 million Hallet stage one wind farm 220km north of Adelaide, the first of four planned for the area. AGL Energy is building on its renewable power generation ahead of the introduction of a national carbon trading system in 2010 and the Federal Government's target of having 20 per cent of the nation's power generated from renewable sources by 2020. The company provides gas and electricity to more than six million Australian customers.
