Solar Farm
The Capricornia Energy Hub has the potential for other renewable energy components, in addition to Pumped-Hydro Energy Storage (PHES). These energy components could potentially supply the PHES or the grid.
Locations near the PHES are currently being assessed to determine if a solar project would be viable.
If the project is considered feasible and is pursued, approvals would be sought at the appropriate time.
Progress and Timeline
Capricornia Energy Hub is the largest renewable baseload energy project in Northern Australia. It is a 1.4GW renewable and energy storage project that will provide renewable energy for Central and North Queensland with a pumped hydro-electric scheme, wind farm and solar farm.
