Queensland Government announced today early development will start on a $380 million wind farm in Far North Queensland before the end of the year, creating 150 jobs, thanks to a sales deal with publicly-owned CleanCo.
Energy Minister Dr Anthony Lynham said Neoen Energy would build the Kaban Green Power Hub near Ravenshoe, 80 kilometres south-west of Cairns now that CleanCo had agreed to buy 110 MW of the wind farm’s output.
CleanCo CEO Dr Maia Schweizer said CleanCo was proud to be involved in this new renewable energy project which will continue to improve electricity affordability for Queensland.
