The Port Kembla Energy Hub will include a gas and green hydrogen power station, located at the Berth 101 site, adjacent to the Port Kembla Gas Terminal. The project includes a 330-kilovolt transmission line to connect to the NEM at Sydney's Dapto Transmission Line.
The project will initially be built to operate on 50 per cent gas and 50 per cent green hydrogen and generate 435 megawatts, with a development pathway to operate on 100 per cent green bydrogen by 2030 with 635 megawatts of generation capacity.
