Stanwell, a publicly owned energy company in Queensland, has unveiled plans to establish the Future Energy Innovation and Training Hub (FEITH) at the Stanwell Power Station near Rockhampton. This hub, comparable in size to a shopping center, will serve as a pivotal facility for testing cutting-edge energy technologies, including energy storage and hydrogen. It is designed to provide practical training for Queensland's energy workforce, equipping them with skills necessary for the adoption of new energy solutions. The project aligns with Queensland's ambitious renewable energy targets of 70% by 2032 and 80% by 2035, reflecting the government's commitment to legislating these goals. Mick de Brenni, Queensland’s Minister for Energy, Renewables, and Hydrogen, highlighted the necessity of such initiatives in meeting emission reduction targets and steering the energy transition in the state. By leveraging public ownership, Queensland aims to take control of its energy future and ensure job security for workers in the sector. Stanwell's CEO, Michael O’Rourke, envisions FEITH as a driver for energy transformation, enhancing understanding of new technologies and fostering the development of Queensland's hydrogen industry. Collaborations with organizations like ESI and CQUniversity further reinforce the project's potential in advancing renewable energy and providing training opportunities. The phased delivery of the FEITH project will include infrastructure development, a skills academy, and a demonstration center, presenting a comprehensive approach to fostering energy innovation and workforce development.
