Queensland Minister for Energy, Renewables, and Hydrogen Mick de Brenni has announced plans to double the state’s production of large scale renewable energy methods.
The new investments include network upgrades between Cairns and Townsville to support a Green Power Hub wind farm in the Northern Queensland Renewable Energy Zone, increased push in the Central Queensland Renewable Energy Zone to transform Gladstone into a hydrogen production hub, and further network investments in the Darling downs to link the MacIntyre Wind Farm with a new Renewable Energy Project in Dulacca.
De Brenni says delivering more clean energy will be vital in supercharging Queensland’s emerging hydrogen economy, and will help grow industrial hubs and manufacturing across the state.
