IEA HYDROPOWER
in Australia

The Australian Government has a goal of achieving 82% renewable electricity by 2040. In Tasmania, the government’s goal is to double clean energy generation by 2040. This is driving a need for greater energy in storage and dispatchable, flexible capacity that comes from hydropower and pumped hydro. Australia has two significant hydropower schemes, in NSW and Tasmania, and several large proposed pumped hydro projects across the nation.
