Tas Chapter AGM & Battery of the Nation Project

About this event

Tasmania has significant potential in the future development of wind and hydropower, coupled with more transmission and interconnection. It's anticipated these developments will drive billions of dollars in investment and create thousands of jobs in Tasmania, as well as delivering energy security for Tasmania and lowest possible power prices for Tasmanians.

Battery of the Nation is Hydro Tasmania’s bold vision to maximise Tasmania’s hydropower capacity.

This presentation will discuss Hydro Tasmania’s Battery of the Nation vision and how it can support the transition of the electricity market. Including the potential redevelopment of the Tarraleah hydropower scheme and pumped hydro at Lake Cethana.
