South Australia Wind can power the nation

Good news to South Australia(SA)!SA has the potential to double it electricity generation through the expansion of wind energy itself, which even has the surplus to be sold to eastern state!It is a good alternative for the nation to approach green!

It increases the possibility to develop this green energy when it shows that a simple federal regulatory change would unlock billions of dollars in investment to expand the infrastructure capacity and deliver large volumes of green SA power across the border to the eastern states. Experts also emphasise that the major change in the infrastructures will ultimately cost the consumers lower, which benefits all.

the state's four major energy firms - Origin Energy, Pacific Hydro, Transfield Services and Acciona Energy - and have indicated interest in developing the infrastructure. Under the proposed plan, it is believed that the construction of the infrastructure can create employment to local people.

Mr Rann said the report was evidence renewable energy could become one of the state's biggest industries, besides defence and mining. SA has targeted to achieve one third of its power generation from renewable energy by 2020.
