The Queensland state government has stepped in to effectively guarantee the delivery of the 258MW Kidston wind farm that will form a crucial part of the country’s first solar, wind and pumped hydro project.

Minister for Employment and Small Business, Di Farmer, and Assistant Minister for Hydrogen Development, Lance McCallum are visiting the Kidston pumped storage hydrogen project which is set to play a key role in delivering jobs for Far North Queensland, while creating renewable energy.

Larges-scale solar plants have put in a solid performance for the first month of the Australian Spring, bumping up total national output by 20%, year-on-year, to 943GWh up from 784GWh in September 2021.

The 50MW Kidston solar farm has again topped the tables of the best performing solar assets in Australia – for the fourth month in a row – as Queensland’s superior winter sunshine enables its solar farms to dominate the latest ratings tables.

Open-cut mine west of cairns set to unleash treasures on region as work kicks into gear a repurposed open-cut gold mine west of Cairns is set to deliver a jobs boom as major earth, electrical and mechanical works hit top gear following a construction start of the Kidston pumped hydro project’s upper reservoir.

In order to succeed in changing to a sustainable energy supply and also achieve climate protection goals, we have to build hydropower plants and also wind and solar farms all over the world. However, as wind turbines and solar cells don’t provide a regular supply of electricity, electrical energy storage devices will be needed on a large scale. Technologies like lithium-ion batteries alone will not suffice.
