But there has been a change. That's where the good news comes in. This week, the Clean Energy Council in Australia reported that the renewables sector in the country is set to see almost 2.3GW of new wind and solar schemes in the next few years. It has highlighted that there are currently 22 renewables projects under construction or ready to begin this year, including 834MW of wind on-site now. These wind schemes include RES's 240MW Ararat in Victoria; Neoen and Megawatt Capital's 209MW Hornsdale 2 & 3 in South Australia; and RATCH's 180MW Mount Emerald and Goldwind Australia's 175MW White Rock Stage 1 in New South Wales. There is also a further 627MW ready to start, including the 270MW Sapphire scheme by Partners Group and CWP Renewables; and the 200MW Silverton scheme by the Powering Australian Renewables Fund. Both of these are in New South Wales.
