Origin buys huge property for wind farm near Armidale as Joyce raises anti-renewables army

Origin Energy has bought a 7690-hectare sheep and beef property in New England, just as a new wave of opposition ramps up in the region against renewable energy infrastructure.
The company bought the Warrane farm for, reportedly, significantly more than the $35 million ticket price.
But the move to buy land, as opposed to the usual strategy of leasing and working with the landholder, is “odd”, says Green Energy Markets director Tristan Edis.
“Normally you sign up landholders and lease it. Buying it is a bit odd as it can be quite useful to have a landowner to talk positively about the project to the community,” he told RenewEconomy.
“By buying the land you’re losing the landowner advocate.”
