contributing
to Tasmania's
energy needs
Did you know?
Robbins Island and Jim’s Plain Renewable Energy Parks will put downward pressure on electricity prices due to the additional on-island renewable energy supply. They will create 400 jobs during construction (and 65 ongoing jobs) and be one of the largest private investments ever in Tasmania (over $1.5 billion). They will also help attract new industry and jobs to Tasmania with lower cost renewable power.
