NewEn Australia is a co-developer of wind farms. It is a subsidiary of a German, family-owned business, which has many years of experience around the world in the natural resources sector.
NewEn Australia was formed in 2003 and has developed wind farm projects in western Victoria.
In 2010, NewEn sold its Mortons Lane Wind Farm project to Tianrun, which erected 13 Goldwind 1.5 MW turbines with a total capacity of 19.5 MW of renewable energy.
In June 2013, NewEn sold its other four projects to TrustPower Australia, now Tilt Renewables, which has continued the development of these projects.
The Salt Creek Wind Farm was built in 2018 with 54MW (15 Vestas 3.6MW).
The Dundonnell Wind Farm was built in 2019 with 336MW (80 Vestas 4.2MW).
NewEn is a co-developer of wind farms and the business model is to sell projects during or towards the end of the development phase.
Currently NewEn has two projects:
The Rifle Butts Wind Farm near Horsham, Victoria. A Planning Permit was approved in 2018 by the Minister for Planning for a development of up to 13 turbines. This Permit has been extended until 2028.
The Bushy Creek Wind Farm near Chatsworth, Victoria. The initial development was undertaken together with Tilt Renewables as it was to be connected to the existing Salt Creek Wind Farm.
However, Tilt Renewables decided not to proceed and NewEn is currently evaluating alternative connection options.
