. This is derived from a statement in the Origin Energy media release ^[1] stating that there will be 100,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions avoided per year as a result of this installation. With the emissions of centralized NSW electricity generation being 1 tonne CO2e/MWh ^[2], and assuming negligible emissions of CO2 from the wind farm annually, this equates to a 100GWh/year. The operation cost for the plant is $0.004 AUD 2009/kWhinfo.png
