Hepburn Wind, the community-owned organisation that operates the two-turbine facility near the town of Hepburn Springs in central Victoria, is looking to add a 7.44MW solar farm and a big battery of 10MWh.
The planning permit was submitted to the state government this week and, if successful, it will allow the co-operative to double its annual output of renewable energy and help the local shire reach its zero net energy target for 2025 and its zero emissions target for 2030.
