The Pines Wind Farm, including the Affordable Housing Project, is funded by the project developers — not by taxpayers or government funding.

Electricity generated by the wind farm is at the market rate, so these costs aren’t passed on to local power users.

As always, we welcome your questions — feel free to ask below.

We’ve had some questions about how our Affordable Housing Project is funded.

Both the wind farm and the housing are funded by the project developers — not by government or taxpayers.

The charitable donation to support the subsidised housing forms part of the project’s construction cost. A portion of the cost is also offset by savings from a reduced need for temporary workforce accommodation.

It’s a model designed to deliver real, local benefits alongside the project itself.

As always, we welcome your questions — feel free to ask below.

We’re seeing some great questions coming through on our Affordable Housing Project.

Households across the Oberon LGA and surrounding communities can access an annual electricity bill credit, starting at $100 and increasing to $250 during construction and operation.
