The South Australia government has unveiled plans to develop large-scale renewable energy projects in the Whyalla and Gawler Ranges regions. These areas, designated under the Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Act 2023, include lands with various designations and are prime for solar and wind energy projects due to their development potential and infrastructure proximity. The Upper Spencer Gulf and Upper Eyre Peninsula regions, close to existing government projects like the Hydrogen Jobs Plan, are key focus areas. The Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Act aims to accommodate both renewable energy and mining activities, making the designated zones attractive for various industries. These developments signify a positive step towards sustainable energy and economic growth in South Australia.
