Projects Overview

Wind Projects

Future Energy’s wind farm projects are carefully researched to ensure that the following key criteria can be met at an early stage, thereby reducing the risks associated with the development process:

· Undisturbed wind flow with strong, consistent wind speeds
· Relatively distant from urban residences, tourist attractions and major roadways
· Terrain primarily used for grazing and cropping, therefore minimal effects on flora or fauna
· Proximity to the electrical grid or suitable grid connection points
· Easy access to the site

We are currently progressing a pipeline of wind farm developments totaling some 150MW which are at various stages of development.

Solar Projects

In 2009, Future Energy established a subsidiary company Solar Energy Company Pty Ltd (SEC) to focus exclusively on the development of medium and large scale solar energy projects.

The company’s first project, Solenco 1, is an 80MW solar-thermal power station development near Mildura in Victoria, which was the subject of a grant application under the Federal REDP scheme. Despite the project being shortlisted for a grant in November 2009, SEC was advised in May 2010 that its application was unsuccessful.

SEC continues to work with its technology suppliers and partners to refine the Solenco project, and to develop other commercial-scale solar projects using both photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies.
