Queensland Wind And Solar Projects
Integra Clean Energy has proposed an on-shore wind and solar hybrid with overhead transmission project, and an off-shore wind with submarine transmission project in Queensland, Australia.
Integra started the development of these projects in January 2018.
Current Status of the Projects
A preliminary project proposal with a preliminary feasibility study was submitted to the Queensland government in June 2018.
There are currently four potential investors for the on-shore and off-shore transmission networks, and a number of potential investors for the on-shore wind solar farm and the off-shore wind farm.
Integra is currently holding discussions with potential transmission and generation investors to provide capital for project development and preliminary feasibility for state and federal approval; and balance of development capital for full feasibility study, contractor and PPA procurement, registration as a participant in the National Electricity Market. Long term equity shall be raised after PPA and NEM registration are achieved, followed by debt raising, to achieve financial close.
In 2020, Integra proposed an onshore wind-solar-pump hydro storage hybrid generation project to the Queensland government and is currently working with its partners to raise financing for the onshore and wind offshore projects to include transmission to supply Central and South Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria with clean energy.
