Located near Hughenden in northwest Queensland, this hybrid project integrates 43.2MW of wind power, 15MW of solar power and a 2MW/4MWh battery. This one-of-a-kind facility aims to offer greater energy stability than individual wind or solar power plants by exploiting the complementary nature of local natural resources.
A model of energy stability
The major advantage of this hybrid installation lies in the reduction of weather-induced production fluctuations. In fact, the strong evening winds compensate for the reduction in wind generation during the day, when solar energy reaches its peak. This synergy helps maintain more constant and reliable energy production. The project company has signed a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) with CS Energy, a company owned by the Queensland government. This agreement secures the sale of the electricity produced, reinforcing the economic viability of the project while contributing to the State’s energy objectives.
Eurus Energy’s environmental commitment
Eurus Energy, the company behind this project, is committed to preserving the global environment by disseminating and developing clean energy technologies. By aligning their project with their corporate philosophy, Eurus Energy continues to promote the expansion of wind and solar power generation, contributing to environmental conservation and the creation of a sustainable society.
Economic and environmental impact
This project does more than just provide a stable source of energy. It also generates economic and environmental benefits. By reducing production fluctuations, it reduces dependence on fossil fuels and helps stabilize energy prices. It also creates local jobs and supports regional economic development.
