Australia: Ark Energy withdraws from Wooroora wind farm project

Launched in July 2021, the proposal for Australia’s Wooroora Station wind farm, envisaging the installation of 42 turbines with a capacity of almost 300 megawatts, has gone through a complex evaluation process under the aegis of the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water (DCCEEW). Despite obtaining development consent from the Queensland government and several revisions to the project to mitigate environmental impacts, prospects for approval remained dim.
