The Australian
Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) today announced $5.5 million support for Hydro
Tasmania to develop an innovative off-grid hybrid project on Flinders Island.
ARENA CEO Ivor Frischknecht said the project would use a
combination of solar, wind, diesel, storage and enabling technologies, together
with a sophisticated control system, to displace more than 60 per cent of the
island’s diesel generated energy.
“The Flinders Island project will build on the success of a
similar project Hydro Tasmania developed on King Island with ARENA support, which
is delivering 100 per cent renewable energy to the island when conditions
allow,” Mr Frischknecht said.
