STATE-OWNED energy retailer Synergy has named a short-list of five renewable energy tenderers to compete for the final supply contract or contracts for capacity totalling approximately 50MW. Synergy estimates a renewable generation project could potentially supply environmentally friendly power for more than 65,000 homes, the equivalent of keeping about 100,000 cars off the road each year. The short-list is: • SpiritWest Bioenergy Pty Ltd (biomass – plantation waste); • Stanwell Corporation and Griffin Energy (wind farm); • Verve Energy (windfarm and/or biomass); • Waste Gas Resources Pty Ltd (land fill gas); and • Western Australia Biomass Pty Ltd (biomass – plantation waste).
