Construction has commenced in the first Queensland Renewable Energy Zone (QREZ), connecting the Kaban Green Power Hub to the electricity grid and creating 250 jobs.
Treasurer and Minister for Investment Cameron Dick said projects like Kaban would enable Queensland to maintain and strengthen its role as the energy powerhouse of the National Electricity Market.
CleanCo has signed a Capacity Purchase Agreement (CPA) for Kaban, agreeing to buy 100 per cent of the wind farm’s renewable energy from the green power hub, and taking control of dispatch.
