Hunter Energy Hub

Creating a blueprint
for the energy transition

We're transforming our assets in the Hunter to build the Hunter Energy Hub – designed with circular economy principles.

An integrated energy hub

We’re bringing together industries that can make a positive contribution to the energy transition - from green advanced manufacturing and waste recycling to grid-scale batteries and energy generation.

Our vision is for this integrated energy hub to become a circular economy, where the waste of one industry becomes the input of another.

We see the Hunter Hub creating diverse opportunities for employment and training in renewables, providing jobs in the Hunter Region for years to come.

Executives, along with local and federal government representatives, breaking ground for a new project at the power station site.

Location

The Hunter Hub is set across 10,000 hectares in the thriving regional Hunter Valley, around 90 minutes drive from Newcastle on the lands of the Wonnarua/Wanaruah community.

Near unparalleled access to electricity supply, water infrastructure, highways, rail and an international port provides significant opportunities for new business and industry.

Our projects

Hunter Hub projects will support grid stability, emissions reductions goals and energy supply for New South Wales, creating plenty of opportunity for new co-located industries focused on the future.

We’re exploring a number of exciting projects with potential project partners:

In coming years our Hunter Hub will be powered by renewable energy from new developments including the Liddell Battery and the Muswellbrook Pumped Hydro project.

Circular economies explained

While a linear economy is based on extraction of resources, production, use and disposal, a circular economy creates a circular flow of resources to more sustainably manage or renew natural resources. 

For example, a circular economy could involve an end-to-end manufacturing facility in one location, where the resources used are recovered, repaired or recycled so that they can become the input for production.
