ACE Power are developing a new clean energy hub near Uralla in New South Wales as part of its commitment to help Australia transition to a clean energy future.
The Hillview Energy Hub is a proposed nationally significant, utility scale energy generation and storage facility. It will generate clean and reliable energy equivalent to 300,000 households for 30 to 40 years and provide significant energy firming via a 1000 MW battery.
The Hillview Energy Hub is located in Salisbury Plains, 10 km southeast of Uralla and 22 km south of Armidale. It is located within the New England Renewable Energy Zone, a region identified as an optimal location for the concentrated, coordinated development of large-scale renewable energy projects to replace retiring fossil fuel generation.
The site is ideally suited for hosting renewable energy generation. It has already been extensively cleared for sheep and cattle farming, which will continue once the projects are operational.
It is also close to existing high voltage transmission lines and the proposed New England REZ East Hub – a 330 kV switchyard proposed by EnergyCo to be located 13 km from Uralla to connect generators to transmission infrastructure. This reduces the need for lengthy new transmission lines on private land.
