Different perspectives on pumped hydro
We possess a unique opportunity to shape the future of energy and regional development.
Queensland Hydro is driven by an unwavering commitment to lead and deliver positive change – not just for the energy system itself, but in how we support and partner with the communities in which we operate, how we care for the environment, how we can provide opportunities for businesses and industry, and how we provide employment opportunities in the developing renewable energy sector.
We are progressing two proposed pumped hydro energy storage systems – the 2,000MW Borumba Project west of the Sunshine Coast and the 5,000MW Pioneer-Burdekin Project in the Pioneer Valley west of Mackay.
We recently asked a range of business, community and academic leaders about their thoughts on our proposed projects and to share their perspectives on the opportunities they see as a result of Queensland Hydro’s work in designing, delivering and maintaining the long duration pumped hydro energy storage assets that will be the cornerstone of the transformation of the state’s energy system.
