Announcements!
Two significant milestones happened last week and were appropriately announced in the media. It was sheer coincidence that these happened at the same time but it made for an extra good week.
With Dovedale Farm agreeing to join the project we now have the full scale of the windfarm that we originally conceived and the benefits are effectively doubled. The Mt Cass ridge has nearly the same topographic profile along its entire length and it would seem a shame to capture only half the wind that flows across it.
Reaching agreement with Tiromoana Station Ltd to buy the original portion of the ridge gives us much more certainty about how we can shape the project as we go ahead, including giving us scope to mitigate any local ecological effects. We will be talking to the local community soon about some ideas we have for doing this.
