Hunter Power project, Australia
Proposed location of the Hunter power project
Name of the Project
Hunter power project.
Location
New South Wales, Australia.
Project Owner/s
Snowy Hydro.
Project Description
The project is intended to secure an alternative cleaner power supply, following the scheduled shutdown of a large-scale coal-fired power plant in Australia, as well as provide the necessary dispatchable ‘firmed’ energy, ensuring security and stability to support the volatility that arises from intermittent renewables.
The gas-fired power plant will have a capacity of 660 MW. The two gas turbines will be capable of operating on natural gas or on a mixture of natural gas and hydrogen. The gas turbines can use up to 30% hydrogen for co-firing with current technology and can be configured in the future to operate on 100% hydrogen for zero-carbon emissions.
