The AGL/Meridian joint venture wind farm development was given the royal seal of approval from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Denmark on Friday during an inspection of the site in western Victoria.

The visit was part of the Crown Prince’s trade mission to Australia focussing on renewable energy with his Tasmanian wife, Crown Princess Mary, who was busy with other duties and did not attend Macarthur. During the formal part of the Macarthur visit, Michael Fraser acknowledged the special relationship between Australia and Denmark going back to the earliest days of our imaginings of what would eventually become Australia’s most famous man made icon, the Sydney Opera House.

Today the Clean Energy Future legislative package has been passed in the Senate, without amendment, and will become law from 1 July 2012.
The Clean Energy Future package will introduce a fixed price on greenhouse gas emissions from FY2013, starting at $23/tonne, and increasing each year before transitioning to a floating price emissions trading scheme in 2015. It is estimated that the scheme will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 160 million tonnes by 2020, and will enable Australia to meet its bipartisan target and international commitment to cut emissions by 5% compared to 2000 levels by 2020.
