Energy projects in Tasmania
Updated
Tasmania's energy system is built around hydro, giving it a generation profile that is already almost entirely renewable. Wind and batteries are the most active areas of new development to add capacity and firming to complement the hydro base. The state is also taking on a larger role in the broader Australian transition, with proposals to expand interconnection to other states and position Tasmania's hydro system as a form of long-duration storage for the eastern grid (NEM).
