Not only does hosting a renewable energy project contribute to cleaner energy, it can also provide benefits to the local community.

“It feels good that playing a part in Australia’s transition to a cleaner future has a positive benefit for us and has a positive effect on the wider economy and community.
“The turbines have no impact on our daily life. It is just really fascinating to watch them."
Bango Wind Farm is located on Ngunnawal Country, 14km south of Boorowa and 30km north of Yass.
The 244MW project is the third largest operational wind farm in NSW, producing enough electricity to power 144,000 homes and prevent 543,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. During construction it created 320 jobs and injected $110 million into the regional economy.
At Squadron Energy, we see our landowner and neighbour relationships as key.
One of the great benefits of hosting or neighbouring a wind farm is that it provides additional income independent of weather and market conditions, which can help diversify income streams.
