The Queensland government has proposed a $14 million overhaul to keep the Wivenhoe Hydro Power Station pumping cleaner, cheaper energy.
Minister for Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen, Mick de Brenni, says that Wivenhoe is a valuable and reliable power station, particularly in light of the recent incident at the Callide-C Power station in May.
Mr de Brenni says, “Wivenhoe is the jewel crown of Queensland’s publicly-owned energy storage fleet and maintaining it will be critical to achieving our renewable energy target.”
