TWO wind farms given planning approval by the Government are expected to inject $1.5 million annually into the economy and create nearly 200 jobs. Ryan Corner will have 68 wind turbines, and 31 are planned for a site near Hawkesdale. Both are in the Moyne Shire in western Victoria. Planning Minister Justin Madden said the farms would contribute 15% towards Victoria's Renewable Energy Target and generate almost 200 megawatts of electricity.
