The Macarthur Wind Farm project is one of many that relies upon the Australian Parliament’s 20%t Renewable Energy Target (RET), passed in late June this year. The RET will help to provide Vestas’ customers with the business case certainty they require to build projects of this size and will be a strong support to the development of wind power projects such as Macarthur.
