The Toowoomba and Surat Basin region in southern Queensland is an energy powerhouse home to a diverse mix of resources including coal, gas, and renewables. As the uptake of renewable energy grows, this region has huge potential to be one of Australia’s clean energy capitals.
Fast facts about the Toowoomba and Surat Basin (TSB) region:
– TSB is home to half of the existing clean energy capacity in Queensland, including the biggest wind farm, solar farm, and battery in the state.
– Projects under development amount to five times the existing clean energy capacity in the region.
– TSB is close to major load centres. This contributes to high marginal loss factors (MLFs) for local generators.
– Sunny Queensland in general is a great area for solar. But what many might not be aware of is that the wind profile is very interesting as well.
