In September, CleanCo released a letter of intent seeking up to 400 MW of renewable energy generation and storage projects to support its clean energy hub at Swan Beach, near Ipswich, Queensland. CleanCo has also secured funding to install a large 250 MW/500 MWh battery at the Swan Beach Energy Precinct.
