Electricity Bill Credit
As part of The Pines Wind Farm Project, every household in the Oberon LGA, Triangle Flat, Bald Ridge and Abercrombie River is entitled to a $100 annual Electricity Bill Credit (terms and conditions apply).
If the project later goes into construction, the annual Electricity Bill Credit will be increased to $250 per year during construction and operations for the life of the project*. CPI will apply to this $250 payment from the start of construction.
If you live in the Oberon Local Government Area (LGA) or the suburbs of Triangle Flat, Bald Ridge and Abercrombie River, and receive a yearly, quarterly or monthly electricity bill for your home you are eligible for annual Electricity Bill Credit payments during investigations, planning and approvals, construction and future operations of The Pines Wind Farm Proposal.
To find out if your house is in the Oberon LGA go to olg.nsw.gov.au/public/ find-my-council/
