Neoen's Goyder wind and solar project in South Australia has received approval for stages 1 and 2 of the northern section, with plans for 99 turbines and a 600 MW capacity, including a 225 MW/900MWh battery energy storage system. The project aims to achieve over 2.6 GW of wind and solar generation, multiple batteries, and new transmission lines to connect to demand centers, with contracts signed with BHP for wind capacity to power mining operations. The urgent need for climate solutions is emphasized in light of the health and environmental issues related to climate change, including increased heat-related illnesses, the spread of diseases, extreme weather events, and habitat destruction.
