SOUTH Australian Premier Jay Weatherill has reaffirmed his government's support for wind energy and will seek a vote in parliament on Wednesday backing the renewable energy sector.
Mr Weatherill said recent suggestions of a moratorium on future wind farm developments was putting investment in the industry at risk.
"The government remains committed to providing ample opportunity for investment in wind energy in South Australia," the premier told state parliament on Tuesday.
"Every megawatt hour of wind energy cuts about one tonne of greenhouse gas emissions.
"Apart from the environmental benefits, wind farms also bring in vital investment to our state."
Mr Weatherill said South Australia had already attracted about $3 billion in wind energy investment, creating 842 direct jobs.
