Federal Decision on Scaled Back Tasmania Wind Project Delayed for Fifth Time
The Tasmania wind project has been waiting for an EPBC decision since May, following several changes to its design.
The St Patricks Plains wind project, proposed for a site in Tasmania's Central Highlands, has been delayed for the fifth time, with a new deadline for a decision set for November 28.
The project was originally designed as a 67-turbine site, but has been scaled back to 47 turbines, with a capacity of 291 megawatts (MW).
A government spokesperson stated that the delays were requested by developer Ark Energy, which acquired the project in 2022 from Epuron.

Ark Energy has been contacted for comment on the delay.
No comment available from Ark Energy at this time.
