Ambitious project but will it fly when the costs are added up ? Fortunately there is a Lib Govt in Tassie as a Labor "Govt" would create another NeverBuiltNetwork fiasco.

Two ambitious projects are helping Tasmania make moves to become the ‘battery of the nation’.
With a location south of the 40th latitude line, Tasmania sits directly in the path of the notorious system of westerly winds known as the Roaring Forties.

Long considered the bane of sailors, these fearsome gales may soon prove a boon for the National Energy Market (NEM) as the state gears up to propel Australia’s renewable energy future.

Tasmania’s $2.5 million Battery of the Nation study was released in June 2018 by the country’s largest generator of renewable energy, Hydro Tasmania.

It features a proposal to double Tasmania’s renewable energy capacity over a 10-to-15-year period from 2500 MW to around 5000 MW via a combination of pumped hydro storage development, private wind power development and an upgrade of existing generation assets.

Integral to the proposal is the separate and highly ambitious Project Marinus, which aims to convert the state’s abundant natural resources into valuable exports to the mainland via a second Bass Strait interconnector known as Marinus Link.

The two projects share a purpose: to aid the transition of the energy system.

Like the NBN monster that the LNP created. The LNP should keep way from any decisions involving technology :(

The loony Greeny Tweedledumb is STILL following me around like a lost puppy because she idolizes the very ground I walk on.

Just saying socko. Keep the LNP away from decisions involving technology because they will screw it up for sure !

The loony Greeny Tweedledumb is STILL following me around like a lost puppy because she worships the very ground I walk on.

She hasn't got the remotest clue about the topic though. Just wants to make a noise and continue her Greeny HATE session.

I've often wondered about the Southern branch of the German origin family - ship's captain of that name collided with the West Coast of Tasmania... (aha - we've found Tasmania!!)....

BTW- you mentioned the Frankenstein word there - 'private'.... everything that has private tagged to it costs double and treble...

Private Enterprise often becomes Major Disorder and General Disaster.... sort of rises through being rank......

(Just promoted officer goes to the G-G's home for official acceptance - while waiting the G-G's little daughter comes out, and says:-  "How do you get to be a Colonel?"

Newly promoted replies:-  'Years of hard work, dedication, intelligence, loyalty, and integrity will get anyone there!"

Little girl says:-  "Not that - my Mum wanted to know how YOU get to be a Colonel.")
