When the mine shut in 2001, the Kidston township fell to approximately 10 people leaving a huge scar on the land. • Kidston site has been identified as having the highest solar irradiance in Australia – perfect for the development of solar technology. • The old mine pits, now filled with water, provide the perfect opportunity for the development of the Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project (K2-Hydro) Kidston Gold Mine (1907 - 2001) 50MW Kidston Solar Farm Development (2016 - 2017) Kidston Renewable Energy Hub (2017 - 2100) Genex Power’s Commitment to North Queensland • Genex Power is investing approximately $1 billion into North Queensland to develop the Kidston Renewable Energy Hub. - • K2-Hydro will generate over $500 million in public benefits – due to reduction in wholesale electricity prices. • Construction of KS1 saw the 160 employees on site during peak capacity. • 500+ direct construction jobs generated through the construction of the Kidston Pumped Hydro Project paired with upgrade of the 275Kv transmission line from Mt. Fox to Kidston. • A further 500 further construction jobs from K2-Solar and K3-Wind taking the total to 1000+ jobs. • Genex Power prioritises local employment and subcontractors. • Collaboration with Hinchinbrook and Etheridge Shire Council. • Townsville: base for FIFO, port gateway for imported equipment.
