“Mum, I’m Bored!”
We are all going through difficult times as a result of COVID-19. At Golden Plains Wind Farm Management (WestWind Energy), we are making changes to the way we go about our business to protect our people and our community.
Most of our people are working from home, holding virtual meetings using the internet and, as much as possible, contacting people by phone instead of in-person to ensure we continue to move forward with the exciting Golden Plains Wind Farm.
