Collinsville Green Energy Hub
The Collinsville Green Energy Hub represents a significant opportunity for the Whitsunday region of north Queensland to benefit from Australia's energy transition. The project area is near Collinsville and approximately 80 km south-west of Bowen, and the project is expected to have a generation capacity of up to 3,000 megawatts.
Collinsville Green Energy Hub - Project Overview
The project is in early development. Work underway includes wind resource monitoring, cultural heritage surveys with the Traditional Owner groups, technical studies for electrical and civil design, on site ecology and environmental surveys, grid connection studies, and consultation with the community and local stakeholders. As more work is done the proposed design is being refined and modified.
The project team is aiming to refer the proposal to the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment & Water, and lodge a development application with the Queensland Government, in Q1 2025.
