As WA grapples with a power crisis, the opponents of a wind farm are gearing up for a fight
Two major green energy projects are one step closer in Western Australia, but while one project has been welcomed by its local community, the other has not.WA's joint development assessment panel approved Neoen's $2-billion plan for a 1-gigawatt battery on a sheep farm near the coal-mining town of Collie on Tuesday.But an hour-and-half's drive south-east, the opposition is mounting to Moonies Hill Energy's plan for a massive wind farm in prime agricultural areas near Kojonup.Farmers voiced bitter opposition to the energy developer's bid for minor changes to the wording of an existing approval on Tuesday, amid concerns it would impact nearby rural properties.The panel approved both plans after close to three hours of robust discussion, highlighting the intense scrutiny renewable energy projects face in WA.
