The Central Queensland communities of Bajool and Dululu have been invited to learn more about the proposed $750 million Mount Hopeful Wind Farm at information sessions this month.
The project proposes a 700 megawatt wind farm plus a 400 megawatt grid-scale battery and is expected to create more than 450 jobs during its 24 month construction.
Mount Hopeful Wind Farm is being developed and operated by Neoen, a global renewable energy company with 3.6 gigawatts of projects in countries including Argentina, Finland, France, Ireland, Jamaica, Mexico, Mozambique, Portugal and Zambia.
The communities will be informed through two informal drop in sessions on May 13.

Rockhampton region a renewable energy hot spot
Rockhampton has emerged as one of the nation’s leading renewable energy generation points, with the region named as the possible home to four wind farms, a solar farm, and a battery storage complex.
The proposed wind farms will be located north of Kalapa, between Westwood and Mount Morgan, and in the vicinity of the Mount Hopeful television transmitter station.
Rockhampton Region Mayor Tony Williams said the building of these new facilities will give the Rockhampton region the opportunity to play an important part in the generation of renewable energy.
“Since the construction of the Stanwell Power Station in 1996, electricity generation has been one of the strengths in our region,” Mayor Williams said.
