About the proposed Borumba Project
The proposed Borumba Pumped Hydro Project is a 2,000 MW pumped hydro energy storage system at Lake Borumba, located near Imbil, west of the Sunshine Coast. The proposed Project will help deliver Queensland’s clean energy future and generate significant opportunities for regional economies and jobs.
In June 2023, the Queensland Government committed $6 billion to the progress the Project, subject to regulatory approvals. Queensland Hydro is currently seeking regulatory approvals for exploratory works, which are due to commence in late 2024. Main works for the Project, if approved, are set to commence in late 2026.
We’re serious about partnering with industries and communities throughout each phase of the project development lifecycle to ensure success. If our proposed Project proceeds, we’ll need thousands of workers during construction and will inject tens of millions of dollars into the local economy. To us, that makes our supply chain critical.
