CleanCo Queensland

We’re Queensland’s new publicly owned power generator & will deliver competitive, reliable, clean energy solutions through low and no-emission generation assets

[Lance McCallum MP @LanceMcCallumMP]

Swanbank is set to be SEQs very first Clean Energy Hub starting with a 250MW battery and community co-design.

The Swanbank precinct has been supporting good local jobs for more than 50 years and that will continue for many more with jobs in solar, green hydrogen and batteries.

Did you know Lake Wivenhoe, from where our Wivenhoe Hydro draws water for generation, also supplies half of South East Queensland’s water? It’s also a great recreational space to picnic, kayak and hike. #hydropower #cleanenergy #renewables

[CleanCo Queensland @CleancoQ]

Our Wivenhoe Power Station works to quickly dispatch clean energy for Queensland. The station can ramp up to generate enough power for around 750,000 homes in 2-4 minutes. #hydropower #cleanenergy #renewables

[CleanCo Queensland @CleancoQ]

Our Wivenhoe Hyrdro runs like one big rechargeable battery. Water is pumped from Wivenhoe Dam to Splityard Creek Dam, then sent down tunnels into a turbine to create electricity. Water then flows back to Wivenhoe Dam to start over. #hydropower #cleanenergy #renewables

[CleanCo Queensland @CleancoQ]

The Wivenhoe Power Station in South East Queensland is the the only pumped storage hydro in the state. And it’s a powerful one. The two 250 MW generators are the largest Francis type turbines in Australia, weighing a huge 1,500 tonnes each. #hydropower #cleanenergy #renewables

[CleanCo Queensland @CleancoQ]

The current Barron Gorge Hydro was actually preceded by the first ever underground power station when it was built in 1932. When the demand for power increased, the underground station was closed and the current hydro was built further upstream and opened in 1963.

[CleanCo Queensland @CleancoQ]

The Barron Gorge National Park is an area of high cultural significance for the Djabugay People, a sacred place that has been a part of their storytelling for tens of thousands of years.

[CleanCo Queensland @CleancoQ]

CleanCo is continuing to work with tourism operators to keep sending rapids down the Barron River and fuel the adventure experience. In line with our renewable energy goal, the water is now released after the solar electricity peak.

[CleanCo Queensland @CleancoQ]

Over the last 12 months CleanCo has committed to investing in more than 930MW of new renewable energy for Queensland.

We are proud to be contributing to the achievement of the Queensland Government’s target of 50% renewables by 2030. #renewables

[Annastacia Palaszczuk @a_palaszczuk]

BREAKING: A huge milestone for renewables 🙌 For the first time in history, 20% of Queensland's energy generation is sourced from renewables such as solar and wind energy. #renewables

[CleanCo Queensland @CleancoQ]

Nearby to our Barron Gorge Hydro, the Barron Falls cascade with roaring white water during the summer months making for a breathtaking sight.

[CleanCo Queensland @CleancoQ]

Swanbank E was the most efficient power station in Australia when it was commissioned in 2002. To reduce our environmental impact, recycled water is used for all the station’s cooling needs.

[CleanCo Queensland @CleancoQ]

The area surrounding our Swanbank E power station makes for a great day out. You can catch a ride on the steam train which is operated by Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway and have a picnic by Swanbank lake, which is maintained by our team.

[The Energy Charter @EnergyCharterAU]

The Energy Charter is all about driving better customer and community outcomes. Last month signatory CEOs met with the Independent Accountability Panel to discuss how they are doing that. We've put together a short video to capture their sentiments: https://t.co/S3NBLrKNcr
