KOOMBOOLOOMBA HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION About CleanCo CleanCo is Queensland’s publicly owned clean energy generator, with a current trading portfolio of 1, 120 MW in the National Energy Market (NEM). Location: Commissioned: CleanCo has a target to support 1, 000 MW of new South west of 1999 renewable energy generation by 2025 and will achieve Ravenshoe on the Capacity: Atherton Tablelands in this by building, owning and operating renewable energy 7 megawatts (MW) Far North Queensland projects and by supporting investment in other new renewable energy projects. About Koombooloomba Hydro CleanCo’s foundation assets include the Wivenhoe pumped storage hydroelectric power station, The 7 MW Koombooloomba Hydro generates Swanbank E gas-fired power station, and three electricity with water released from hydroelectric power stations in Far North Queensland: Koombooloomba Dam. This electricity is then Barron Gorge, Kareeya and Koombooloomba. transported 18 kilometres north to the Kareeya Hydro, prior to being fed into Queensland’s electricity grid. OUR FOUNDATION ASSETS Koombooloomba Hydro is located in the Tully River Barron Gorge Hydroelectric catchment area which spans approximately 260 square Power Station kilometres across one of Australia’s wettest regions. 66 MW Tully itself averages 4.27 metres of rainfall each year. Kareeya Hydroelectric Water flowing from the Koombooloomba National Park Power Station down the Tully River is captured in the Koombooloomba 88 MW Dam. The dam has a standard capacity of 180, 000 megalitres and can hold a further 25, 000 megalitres using a water-inflated, rubberised tube fitted along the Cairns Koombooloomba Hydroelectric crest of the spillway. Power Station 7 MW Water released from Koombooloomba Dam is first used by Koombooloomba Hydro to generate electricity. It Wivenhoe then continues to flow down the Tully River where it is Pumped Storage Hydroelectric captured by the Tully Falls Weir and then transported Power Station underground to the 88 MW Kareeya Hydro to again be 570 MW used to generate electricity. Koombooloomba Hydro is in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Brisbane Area and must meet strict environmental standards. All water used in generation flows back to the Tully River Swanbank E in the pristine condition it entered the power station. The Power Station Koombooloomba Hydro does not emit any greenhouse 385 MW gases and is an accredited green generator..
