• Planning Agreement - Edify Energy

  Public Exhibition Planning Agreement Edify Energy

  Narromine Shire Council seeks feedback from the community in regard to the draft planning agreement between Edify Energy and Narromine Shire Council.

  Edify Energy Pty Ltd is seeking to construct a 100MW solar farm with energy storage and associated infrastructure at 1955 Eumungerie Road, Burroway, New South Wales. (Lot 70 DP 1251856).

  The capital value of the project is outlined in the scoping report to be in excess of $200M and as such is identified as a State Significant Development under Part 4 of the EP&A Act.

  For renewable energy projects of this nature the State Government has developed the ‘Benefit Sharing Guideline’ to provide information to applicants, Councils and the public about the importance of benefit sharing for large scale renewable energy generation and storage projects. These guidelines have been used in formulating the Planning Agreement

  As per the Benefit Sharing Guidelines the planning agreement is set out into two streams, they are:

  •Development contribution (Council portion) &

  •Development contribution (Developer portion)

  The total development contribution in year one is $85,000, this is apportioned:

  •Development contribution (Council portion) $72,250

  •Development contribution (Developer portion) $12,250

  It is recommended that Council’s portion be attributed to ‘the provision of enhanced children’s, youth and seniors sport and recreation activities and development’.

  Edify Energy propose that the Developer’s contribution be offered directly to the community in a Community Benefit Fund, favouring projects such as environmental restoration, initiatives that enrich and support the community, education and training programs.

  An explanatory note is attached to the Planning Agreement at schedule 4.
