New Sun Cable takes shape with 12GW of wind added to world’s biggest renewable project
Quinbrook quickly identified that wind energy would be a useful addition to the project that was originally focused on 20 GW of solar and 42 GWh of battery storage.After nearly a year of studies, Quinbrook now has a better idea of what that might look like – 12 GW of wind, with the solar component reduced from 20 GW to 12 GW, and the storage component also reduced to 32 GWh – thanks in part to the role that wind will play in providing power after the sun goes down.
Interestingly, the first stage will now target both a link to Singapore and the planned supply to a new massive green manufacturing hub at Middle Arm in Darwin, rather than just the domestic component that had been touted last year.
