An Australian-first hybrid wind, solar and battery storage facility is under construction in north Queensland, part of a regional boom in renewable energy.

The 64-megawatt Kennedy Energy Park near Hughenden, 290 kilometres south-west of Townsville, will combine 12 wind turbines, 55,000 solar panels and 4 megawatt-hours of battery storage, to pump an average of 50MW into the power grid at any time.
Developer Windlab's construction manager Martin Vries said the complementary sources of power generation provided a blueprint for the future of electricity in the region.
