[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 656769, member: 4386"] I was going on this - "The plant uses reverse osmosis filtration membranes to remove salt from seawater and is powered using[B] renewable energy[/B], supplied to the national power grid from the Infigen Energy –owned Capital Wind Farm located at Bungendore." and Part of the Sydney Desalination Plan's cost was the construction of a wind farm to offset the energy usage of the plant with [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100%25_renewable_energy']100% renewable energy[/URL]. The 67–turbine [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Wind_Farm']Capital Wind Farm[/URL] at Bungendore was built for this purpose and produces approximately 340 gigawatt-hours (1,200 TJ) per year. The generating/[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_energy_source#Terminology']nameplate capacity[/URL] is 140 megawatts (190,000 hp).[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Desalination_Plant#cite_note-34'][34][/URL] I have plenty of issues with resources and foreign investment - just feel the focus should be on the real stuffups and things that we can change, The issue of our exporting gas and driving the price of domestic gas sky-high as a result is a sore polint with me. That needs correcting. [/QUOTE]
