energy needs
About the projects
Jim's Plain and Robbins Island Renewable Energy Parks will contribute enough electricity to power up to 500,000 typical Tasmanian homes once operational. Connecting into the National Electricity Market, these projects will contribute to Tasmanian and Australian energy generation needs, and will also support Hydro Tasmania's vision to become the Battery of the Nation. The projects are currently in planning and the first stage of development is planned to be operational by 2023.
