Australia plans to build the world’s largest renewable energy hub. Western Green Energy Hub The center named will now be built instead of the previously planned 50 GW. 70 GW will have the capacity. When the giant project is completed, it will spread over an area larger than countries such as Slovenia and El Salvador.

The project is planned to be built in the southeast of Western Australia. 22,700 square kilometers will cover an area and 35 solar farms spread 60 million solar panels will host. The project also includes power plants ranging from 7 MW to 20 MW. 3,000 wind turbines will take place.

It will produce electricity equal to three-quarters of Australia’s current consumption

Construction of solar farms in a long-term giant project in 7 stages ve in a period of 30 years is planned to be carried out. When completed, the center will have 35 nodes, each with a capacity of 2-3 GW. It will produce more than 200 TWh of electricity per year. This figure corresponds to three quarters of Australia’s current electricity production amount (274 TWh).

The project is expected to play an important role in Australia’s transition to clean energy by 2050. The estimated cost of the project is 100 billion Australian dollars ($65.58 billion).

Given the long timeline for the project to materialize, developers are keen to ensure it can adapt to technological advances in renewable energy in the coming years. Although onshore wind turbines typically have a capacity of 7 MW, Western Green Energy Hub is evaluating turbine options that can produce up to 20 MW of power for this project.

Green hydrogen production will also be carried out

Also in the facility green hydrogen with electrolyzers production is planned. After the first phase is completed, the facility will be 330,000 tonnes of green hydrogen is expected to produce. When the project is fully completed, hydrogen production will be to 3.5 million tons is planned to reach. At the same time green ammonia Production is also within the plans.

Other components of the project include data centres, workshops and production facilities, a workers’ village with a capacity of approximately 8,000 people and an infrastructure corridor along the coast. The onshore and offshore components consist of a marine outfall facility, desalination facility, brine pipeline and an ammonia export pipeline.
