Information

According to the "Sydney Morning Herald" report, the Australian state of New South Wales recently announced that it will install solar panels on more buildings to encourage the development of more wind farms.

Australia plans to generate 20% of its electricity generation from renewable sources by 2020. "New South Wales is emerging as a leader in energy and environmental policy," Australian Environment Minister Bob Stokes told Clean Energy Week in Sydney.

According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance news, large-scale renewable energy investment in Australia is now almost at a standstill, with only A$40 million in investment in the first half of 2014, equivalent to 1.5% of the total investment of A$2.67 billion in 2013. Wind farm operators and other investors say they will abandon the Australian market in future investment plans if the government abandons the mandatory 2020 mandate of 41,000 gigawatt hours of renewable energy generation. (1 Australian dollar is about 5.84 yuan)

NSW will save energy based on fiscal mandates, with more than $500 million being spent annually on energy, water and waste. In addition, all new electrical equipment purchased by the state will meet at least an ENERGY STAR average rating for similar equipment.

Stokes said New South Wales had committed to a target of 41,000 gigawatt hours of renewable energy generation, and the state's investment over the next decade could reach $290 million, with annual energy savings of $55 million. "The NSW government will be Australia's largest employer. It buys 1 per cent of all new cars in Australia and owns 400,000 square kilometres of land, half of the state's land area," he said.

The Australian Energy Efficiency Council welcomed the NSW policy. Bob Murray-Leach, the commission's chief executive, said the commission would strengthen its budget and help businesses improve energy efficiency by enforcing higher standards. "Other state governments should see how NSW has done it and can follow suit," he said. "There is a lot of room for energy efficiency improvement, we have a lot of buildings and energy efficiency in buildings has not been given enough attention. "

In addition, on the issue of wind power noise, opponents claim that wind turbines have an impact on human health, but such effects have not been confirmed by scientific research institutions such as the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council.

Stokes advised local authorities to address wind farm noise. He said: “I have advised NSW EPA to include wind project noise standards in its Industrial Noise Policy, which will be finalised in December. This will give wind farm operators a clear and clear policy signal, while also It is beneficial to the site selection of wind farms.”

Simon Chapman, from the University of Sydney's School of Public Health, said: "The Stokes proposal would be a positive move, given the current segregation of wind turbine noise from other industrial or occupational noise, which has caused wind power generation to suffer. Special attention. Wind turbines produce much lower noise levels than normal agricultural noise, such as generators, chainsaws, sawmills, tractors and road traffic noise.”
