The project is expected to increase Tilt Renewables asset base by more than 50% and support the company’s strategic goal of doubling the assets under its management.

The Victorian state government and Snowy Hydro have contracted nearly 87% of the power produced by the windfarm.

The project was awarded a support agreement under the Victorian Renewable Energy Auction Scheme, and an offtake agreement.

Campbell added: “The support agreement from the Victorian state government provided sufficient revenue certainty for the project to proceed to the investment decision, and also for Snowy Hydro to be confident the project would proceed.

“We are extremely pleased to work with the Victorian government to help them achieve their renewable energy target and together deliver significant economic, social and environmental benefits to regional Victorians.

“The addition of a second offtake for 50% of the project with such an experienced and high-quality industry participant as Snowy Hydro adds to our excitement.”
