Rockhampton region a renewable energy hot spot
Rockhampton has emerged as one of the nation’s leading renewable energy generation points, with the region named as the possible home to four wind farms, a solar farm, and a battery storage complex.
The proposed wind farms will be located north of Kalapa, between Westwood and Mount Morgan, and in the vicinity of the Mount Hopeful television transmitter station.
Rockhampton Region Mayor Tony Williams said the building of these new facilities will give the Rockhampton region the opportunity to play an important part in the generation of renewable energy.
“Since the construction of the Stanwell Power Station in 1996, electricity generation has been one of the strengths in our region,” Mayor Williams said.
