answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2014 answer text <p>The Department does not undertake analysis or hold information of this nature relating to specific developments. Potential impacts of proposed developments are assessed through the planning system. Based on the average carbon intensity of generation from all fossil fuel plants in 2012 (700 g/kWh), which wind would be expected to displace, and using standard historical average load factors for offshore wind farms from 2008 to 2012 inclusive, a wind farm of 1 Gigawatt (GW) of installed capacity is expected to displace approximately 2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
