We are investing in a portfolio of new projects will enable us to provide our large commercial and industrial customers with clean energy solutions that meet their needs and support their decarbonisation pathways.
Beyond delivering critical energy, this program of works creates a unique opportunity to establish local supply chains, create a pipeline of jobs and training, decarbonise energy intensive industries and support regional economic development.
We are focused on supporting our customers on their decarbonisation journey by building our portfolio. Our aim is to add 5GW of wind and solar to our portfolio, backed by market leading, low emission firming portfolio of gas, hydro and storage assets.
Moah Creek Wind Farm will include up to 60 wind turbines, support up to 400 construction jobs, and inject up to $600 million into the local economy.
Wooderson Solar Farm will generate around 400 construction jobs and contribute to local economic growth through the decarbonisation of industry.
CleanCo is working with the Ipswich community to transform the Swanbank Power Station site into a Clean Energy Hub, ensuring long-term jobs and economic opportunities for the region.
The Swanbank site has played an important role in supporting resource and energy supply for more than 50 years. The 336ha site has a proud history of coal mining and coal generation. Now its future is in sustainable, low-emission energy.
In 2021, CleanCo announced plans to develop the former coal-fired power station site into a Clean Energy Hub, as well as restore the environment and explore community infrastructure opportunities.
CleanCo is building its first big battery as part of the development of the Swanbank Clean Energy Hub. Early construction activities began in February 2024. The Swanbank Battery is expected to be operational in mid-2025.
The pilot 1.5MW NAS Battery would have the capacity to dispatch electricity for at least six hours. At first, the stackable, modular design would offer a scalable, space-saving solution that could expand to gigawatt scale.
Beginning at the Koombooloomba Dam, water flows through Koombooloomba Hydro (7MW) then down to Kareeya Hydro, where it goes through four powerful 22MW generators to produce a total of 88MW.
After the water has been used, it’s released back into the Tully River in the same pristine condition as when it entered the power station.
CleanCo offtakes 126MW or 70 per cent of the renewable energy generated by the wind farm.
Dulacca Renewable Energy project includes a 180MW wind farm.
The Alstom GT26 is a single shaft machine where a Gas Turbine and Steam Turbine are connected to a single generator.
Commissioned in 1963, Swanbank A was the first of four coal-fired power stations with Swanbank B commissioned in 1971, C in 1969 and D in 1999. All four power stations have been decommissioned with the Swanbank B the last to be decommissioned in 2010.
What sets Swanbank E apart from its coal-fired predecessors is that it is powered by an Alstom GT26 Gas Turbine, which produces less than half the greenhouse gas emissions and at the time of commission in 2002, was largest gas turbine.
CleanCo has committed to purchasing 400MW through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
The project will support up to 400 jobs and invest over $500 million in the regional economy.
The MacIntyre Precinct is expected to be operational in 2025.
Both Wivenhoe Power Station and Wivenhoe Dam were built at the same time and commissioned in 1984.
Wivenhoe Power Station holds two Francis type turbines and at 285MW each, they are largest, weighing an incredible 1,500 tonnes each.
The Wivenhoe Dam reservoir holds double the capacity of Sydney Harbour, and about seven times the capacity of the Gold Coast’s Hinze Dam.
