The Borumba Dam Pumped Hydro Power Station is a proposed 2,000 MW pumped hydro energy storage system at Lake Borumba, located in Imbil, south-west of Gympie in Queensland, Australia. First power is expected in 2030. [1] [2] A state-owned entity called Queensland Hydro is coordinating the project. [3] The land for the pumped hydro scheme was ...

Queensland has some hydro electricity facilities in North Queensland and South East Queensland. The largest is Wivenhoe Hydroelectric Power Station which can produce a maximum of 500 MW when required. [46] The use of bore water at Thargomindah from 1893 has been described as Australia's first hydro-electricity scheme. [47] It was operational ...
The power station is the only pumped storage hydroelectric plant in Queensland. [3] The Wivenhoe Dam has been built across the Brisbane River about 80 kilometres (50 mi) by road from the centre of Brisbane, the capital of the state of Queensland, Australia. The body of water held behind the dam is called Lake Wivenhoe.
Braemar Power Station, 2006 Oakey Power Station, 2016. These gas turbine power stations use gas combustion to generate some or all of the electricity they produce. Combined cycle plants include an open cycle gas turbine, plus a heat recovery steam generator that uses waste heat from the gas turbine to make steam to drive a steam turbine.
The Urannah Dam is a $2.9 billion project, proposed as a 1.5 million megalitre dam that includes a water pipeline network, an irrigated precinct, and pumped hyro-electricity storage and power generation infrastructure. [2] [6] The dam would provide water to mining in the region, as well as agriculture. The project proponent is the Bowen River ...
Owned by CleanCo Queensland and operated by CS Energy, Wivenhoe Power Station is located on the eastern side of Wivenhoe Dam, north west of Brisbane. The station, which began commercial operation in 1984, was Queensland's first pumped-storage hydro-electric plant. It is operated remotely from an operating centre used to manage the Queensland ...
CleanCo owns and operates a range of electricity generation assets in Queensland, including run-of-the-river and pumped-storage hydroelectricity, gas-fired power plants, grid-scale solar farms and wind farms. The Queensland Government has a long-term ambition to generate 50 per cent of the state’s electricity from renewable sources by 2030. [1]
