- An investigation is being undertaken for a wind farm at Robbins Island and Jims Plain, located on the north-west coast of Tasmania. The capacity of the proposed wind farm is up to 360 MW, which will be commissioned in different stages from 2014
|
- Transend has received connection enquiries from different proponents to develop up to 375 MW capacity of wind farms at various locations throughout Tasmania
|
- Development of Tasmania's geothermal resources. e.g. KUTh Energy has an inferred 260,000 PJ of geothermal energy. Just 1% of the inferred geothermal resource would be sufficient to generate a constant flow of 280 MW of electricity over a 30 year period
- Other companies involved in exploration of geothermal resources include Geopower Proprietary Limited, which has application to explore an area covering 4 892 sq km and Geothermal Energy Tasmania Proprietary Limited which has three licenses covering 8 495 sq km
- Development of up to 1300MW wind generation
- A number of proponents have shown a keen interest in accessing Tasmania's excellent wave and tidal resources for the development of wave and tidal power schemes in the State. Potential areas for development include the West Coast, the Tamar River and areas within Bass Strait
