As Australia's wind fleet matures, the industry faces a growing need to manage project end-of-life responsibly, whether extending operational life, recycling components or decommissioning with care for communities and ecosystems. This session examines a range of approaches available and the lessons being learned in the field.

Presentations will explore how operational data can be used to safely and cost-effectively extend wind farm life, the recycling opportunities available for wind turbine components in the Australian market, a circular economy framework for approaching wind turbine decommissioning, and real-world environmental and social outcomes from the decommissioning of the Esperance wind farm.
