Wind 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 wind project would be viable.

If the project is considered feasible and is pursued, approvals would be sought at the appropriate time.

In a setting such as the one being investigated, turbines selected would typically be 6MW in capacity with a height of about 165 metres.

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.
