Bass Strait region has some of the best wind resources in the world, and with both State and Federal Governments’ support, the area around Bell Bay in Northern Tasmania could become a clean fuel export hub powered by offshore and onshore renewables and firmed by Tasmania’s hydroelectricity generation”, said Parkwind Australia’s Country Manager, Anil Chanana.
