Taryn Lane is the manager of Hepburn Community Wind Farm, and in 2021 she was inducted to the Victorian Honour Roll of Women in the 'Trailblazer' category. She is a community energy and renewable energy expert.

Early life and career

Lane obtained a Bachelor and Master of Arts. She lives in Central Victoria, and is the manager of the community owned Hepburn Community Wind Farm, which aims to be a source of 100% sustainable energy for the community.[1] [2] Lane is a director of RE-Alliance, the Coalition for Community Energy, and the director of the Smart Energy Council. Lane works at Hepburn Community wind farm, which is the 'Australia’s first community owned wind generator'. In 2011, 2,000 community members donated $10 million to fund the building of a wind farm with two turbines. The objective is to be using 100% renewable energy by 2024.[3] Lane is also a fellow at the Centre for Sustainability Leadership.[4]

Hepburn Community Wind Farm, of which Lane is a manager,[5] won a Premier's sustainability award for community.[6] The Hepburn Wind Farm also received a sustainability award finalist.[7] She commented on how communities can reduce emissions, aiming for net zero, using renewables: "Governments are adhering to the net zero 2050 target but we think it is important to reach no more than 1.5 degrees in the next decade," Lane said. "If we can do as much as we can at a grassroots level, governments can be more ambitious."
