Responsible renewable energy development for New England NSW.
We're not anti-renewables. We're a community asking a fair question about the wind farms, solar farms and transmission lines proposed across the New England Renewable Energy Zone: how much can one region take? We're local people standing up for our own backyard, without losing sight of the bigger picture: an energy future that is reliable, affordable and fair for the whole country.
This starts with our paddocks, our ridgelines and our towns. But how the energy transition is done here matters to every Australian.

Who we are
Farmers, graziers, small business owners, professionals, retirees and families from across the New England region of NSW.
ReD4NE, Responsible Energy Development for New England, is a not-for-profit, incorporated community formed in 2021 to represent residents and landholders across the New England region of NSW.
We act as an umbrella group for local communities and landowners facing what has become an uncontrolled surge of large-scale wind farm, solar farm and battery development across New England.
Our position is simple and fair: this region will accept its share of renewable projects, but not the saturation of the New England Renewable Energy Zone. We're calling for the number of gigawatts proposed for the REZ to be reduced to something this landscape, its roads and its people can actually sustain.
We fight for our local area first, because we know it best. But we don't neglect what this means for the rest of the country: energy that stays reliable, affordable and secure for every Australian household, farm and business.
How much can one region take?
Compiled from public NSW planning data, here's the cumulative footprint of renewable energy projects proposed across the New England Renewable Energy Zone (REZ). These aren't isolated projects. They overlap on the same roads, ridgelines and water catchments.
Sources: NSW Planning Portal, AEMO, EnergyCo & individual project proponents. Figures are indicative and current to public filings.
