Kennedy Energy Park is a wind, solar and storage hybrid power station approximately 20 km south east of Hughenden and 290 km southwest of Townsville in Queensland.
Stage one of the project is a “ proof-of-concept” commenced construction 2018, consisting of 30 MW of wind turbines, 20 MW of single axis tracking Solar Panels, and 2 MW of Li ion battery storage, costing $120 million to build was commissioned in 2023. [1] It was constructed in 2018 but did not start to connect to the grid until July 2021. [2] It is intended that the combination of solar and wind generation will be complementary and lead to stable output. [3]
Stage two is proposed to be capable of producing 1200 MW of renewable energy, costing $2 billion and was hoped to commence construction before the end of 2020. [4]
