Queensland Hydro is a publicly owned entity established by the Queensland Government to design, deliver, operate, and maintain long duration pumped hydro energy storage assets that will be the cornerstone for the transformation of the state’s energy system. This transformed energy system will predominantly rely on wind and solar energy generation, complimented by dispatchable energy sources such as batteries and pumped hydropower energy storage (PHES).
