Economic development

The Hawkesdale Wind Farm project will contribute to the development of the local and regional economy by creating employment, contracting local and regional businesses during the construction and operation phases, upskilling the relevant work force in wind farm technology, generating a new source of revenue for certain landowners, and increasing the local tax base.
