A proposed wind farm at Clements Gap is still very much a live project, but a gap in federal policy-making is stalling the project. Andrew Richards, who is executive manager of corporate and government affairs for Pacific Hydro, said: "The wind farm is effectively ready to go. It-is one of the best wind farms in our portfolio." He said the delay had resulted from the Federal Government setting unrealistically low targets for renewable energy. States have to buy environmental credits and some cannot transfer them to other States. This may change soon when New South Wales puts through legislation in the coming months that may allow the Clements Gap wind farm to be built.
