Invest in Bell Bay to unlock more renewables
The TCCI is the voice of business in Tasmania and backs Labor’s calls for a business case to support Bell Bay becoming a key part of Tasmania’s offshore wind program.
TCCI CEO Michael Bailey said a business case would help develop a plan for Bell Bay.
“We know that off shore wind farms will be important for Tasmania,” Mr Bailey said.
“What we don’t have is a clear plan for how we are going to develop an offshore renewables sector. Bell Bay can play an important role in unlocking our offshore wind potential, but we need to make sure it is fit for purpose.
“We need to get the basics right first and that’s why we support Labor’s plan to develop a business case for Bell Bay upgrades.
“This is a great initiative and we encourage the Government to lend their support too.”
