Project update – Clarke Creek Wind Farm ✅ 68 out of 100 turbines installed ✅100 out of 100 foundations poured We’re proud to be getting on with the job of leading Australia’s transition to renewable energy. We are already generating clean energy with the early stages of commissioning and testing underway at Stage One of Clarke Creek Wind Farm. When complete, Clarke Creek Wind Farm will produce enough electricity to power about 330,000 Queensland homes and avoid 738,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.

The Clean Energy Council has released its inaugural Best Practice Charter which details how industry is improving practices and making positive contributions to the communities they operate in. As Australia's leading renewable energy company, we think it's crucial to engage with, and share the benefits of our projects with communities. This charter will help lift the bar across the industry, so local communities get the most from the opportunities the renewable energy sector presents.

It was great to participate in yesterday's Connecting Industry Renewable Energy Roundtable held in Gladstone. The discussion focused on the importance local collaboration, supply chain participation, investment opportunities and the long-term benefits of a sustainable energy future. The renewable energy sector presents enormous opportunities in regional areas. Stage One of our Clarke Creek Wind Farm project which is currently under construction has created over 350 jobs and will inject $110 million into the regional economy. Squadron Energy's Executive General Manager of Corporate Relations and Community Daniel Newlan was pleased to join fellow panelists Maria Baker from ACCIONA Energía and Kate Lindsay from Central Queensland Power (CQP).

Clarke Creek Wind Farm construction has been continuing at pace, with all 100 turbine foundations now laid. Congratulations to all the teams involved in this important milestone. 👏 We also have our final shipment of components due to arrive at Gladstone Port shortly. 🚢 Once completed, this project will produce enough electricity to power the equivalent of around 330,000 Queensland homes and avoid 738,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year. 🌬️⚡
