ForewordOFFICE OF ENERGYRENEWABLE E ENERGY HANDBOOK 201003FOREWORDRENEWABLE ENERGY HANDBOOK – FOREWORDWestern Australia faces a number of challenges in meeting the long term energy needsof the community while supporting the State’s growing economy.Renewable energy will play a key role in meeting these needs, as the State Governmentworks to deliver a secure, reliable, competitive and cleaner energy future.While the community at large has a genuine desire to embrace low-emission andrenewable energy sources, the State Government has already introduced a suite ofinitiatives to promote renewable energy generation.1-=It has implemented a residential net feed-in tariff, allowing homes powered byrenewable energy to earn on what they export into the electricity grid.It has encouraged the development of a 5 MW demonstration wave power stationnear Garden Island and the creation of a Geothermal Centre of Excellence, to build theState’s capacity and knowledge about geothermal resources.Further, the Government has thrown its support behind the construction ofWestern Australia’s biggest renewable energy project – the Collgar wind farm,which will almost double the total renewable energy generation in the South WestInterconnected System (SWIS).These projects will make a major contribution to Western Australia’s long termenergy security, while helping the State to achieve its share of the nationalrenewable energy target of 20 per cent by 2020.Meeting this target is a key objective of the State Government’s Strategic Energy InitiativeEnergy2031. This involves industry and community consultation to develop an ambitiousand practical plan to meet the State’s energy needs over the next 20 years.The State Government has prepared this Handbook as a practical guide for thoseseeking to develop commercial renewable energy projects in Western Australia.It is a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in renewable energy inWestern Australia. It provides an overview of the relevant approvals needed forproposed projects, as well as detailing important information for the community,local government, landholders and other stakeholders keen to fi nd out moreabout renewable energy in Western Australia.The State Government will continue to invest in renewable energy and otherlow-emission generators, ensuring we have a safe and secure electricity systemwhilst also delivering a cleaner energy future for Western Australia.Hon Peter Collier MLCMinister for Energy
