Renewable Energy Projects

The Banana Shire is poised to play a key role in the Queensland Government’s Energy and Jobs Plan, which aims to end the state’s reliance on fossil fuels by 70% in 2032. This will transform Banana Shire into a renewable energy hub.

The long-term plan outlines the integration and connection of solar and wind farms to hydrogen generators and hydroelectric energy storage facilities across the state via a “super grid”.

The Banana Shire is experiencing significant interest from investors seeking a resilient economy, affordable land, a skilled workforce, established infrastructure, and a business-friendly local government.

The construction of renewable energy projects provides an opportunity to grow the local workforce, population, and the need for support services and opportunities for business.
