All Hinchinbrook residents are invited to an informative and engaging community roadshow session in Townsville on Tuesday the 13th of May. Genex will present exciting updates on the Kidston Hybrid Project (K3-Hybrid) offering a unique opportunity to learn how this ground breaking renewable energy initiative will benefit the region socially, environmentally, and economically.
The K3-Hybrid Project marks the final stage of the Kidston Clean Energy Hub and integrates 120 megawatts (MW) of wind power with a 150MW/600-megawatt hour battery energy storage system. Reconfigured from the former Kidston Wind Project (K3-Wind), this ambitious 270MW hybrid project will connect to a new 275-kilovolt transmission line by Powerlink Queensland, with completion expected in 2025. By combining wind, solar, pumped hydro, and storage, the Kidston Clean Energy Hub will be the first of its kind in Australia. This is the start of creating a globally significant, multi-technology renewable Hinchinbrook.
At the session, Genex representatives will explain the project’s purpose and benefits, including employment and local business opportunities, wind turbine transport logistics, and broader community impacts. Attendees will also learn how to get involved and stay connected with Genex throughout the project's life cycle.
If you’re a business owner, contractor, job seeker, university representative, or simply a curious community member, this is your chance to engage directly with the project team, ask questions, and see how this transformational project will shape the future of North Queensland. Refreshments will be provided, and the session will include a Q&A segment for community input and discussion.
