Energy Insiders Podcast: CleanCo pumps up for Queensland duck curve

CleanCo chair Jacqui Walters joins the Energy Insiders podcast to discuss the plans and strategies for Queensland’s newest generation company that officially enters the market on Thursday, October 31.

CleanCo will operate the big Wivenhoe pumped hydro facility, along with the Swanbank E gas plant and several smaller hydro projects.

The first target is the so-called “duck curve” in Queensland’s energy market, where prices often fall into negative territory because of scale of solar output in the region, while CleanCo will also focus on the advancing the RE400 program for new renewables and storage, and aims to have 1,000MW of renewable capacity under its wings by 2025.
