This was revealed in the ABARE report Electricity generation: major development projects - October 2009 listing released today by Dr Terry Sheales, Deputy Executive Director, ABARE. Of the nine renewable electricity generation projects listed at an advanced stage of development in October 2009, eight were wind powered projects and one was a hydro project. 'The number of wind projects at advanced and less advanced stages of development demonstrates the potential of wind energy to add significant renewable electricity generation capacity to the electricity grid,' Dr Sheales noted.
