Wind farm operators fear incentives too far off

Proponents of a wind farm in Tasmania’s north-east say they cannot wait years for the Federal Government to reconsider its stance on renewable energy.

The Musselroe wind farm is in doubt because of the Federal Government’s refusal to provide incentives for energy retailers to buy wind power.

“The issue for Musselroe is, of course, that if that does happen, it’s likely to take a couple of years to come in and we can’t wait that long.”
