Spark Infrastructure have proposed a 2.5 GW hybrid wind, solar and battery energy hub within NSW's South-West Renewable Energy Zone and along the route of the Project EnergyConnect interconnector between NSW and SA.
The project would be delivered in stages:
- Stage One - 1 GW generation capacity and an estimated total cost of $1.8 billion, and
- Stage Two - 1.5 GW generation capacity and an estimated total cost of $2.5 billion.
The proposed location of the hub is in the Murrumbidgee council area halfway between Coleambally and Jerilderie on the route of the Project EnergyConect Interconnector. The project also has proximity to the HumeLink and Victoria to NSW West interconnectors.
