FAQ
How will the project benefit the community?
European Energy is committed to maximising the benefits of the project to the local community. Opportunities will be given for local contractors to supply goods and services, particularly during project construction. A benefit sharing strategy will be developed in consultation with the local community. To ensure that the benefits of this initiative are maximised, community consultation will lie at the heart of its implementation strategy. It is anticipated that $1million AUD over the life of the project will be distributed to community projects.
How will the project connect to the electricity grid?
The 275kV Greenbank to Middle Ridge transmission line crosses the project site. As part of construction works, a new 275kV switch yard will be established within the project footprint to cut into this line.
How will the project be approved?
A development application will be submitted to the Lockyer Valley Regional Council.
