Western Australia (WA) is poised to become the host of the world’s largest renewable energy hub, promising a mix of wind and solar that could match Australia’s entire energy fleet and contribute a whopping 50 GW (gigawatts) in power generation.
The Western Green Energy Hub (WGEH) is set to cost $95 billion (US$70 billion) and occupy 15,000 square kilometres (5,800 square miles) of south-eastern WA, with final plans due to be drawn up in 2028.
