Dungowan Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Project
The Dungowan Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Project, acquired by EDF Group from Mirus Energy and Energy Estate in 2023, is a 300MW project with up to 10 hours of energy storage.
The project is located in the Dungowan Valley 45km southwest of Tamworth and is part of the New England Renewable Energy Zone.
Positioned downstream of the existing Dungowan dam, the Dungowan PHES will play a critical role in integrating wind and solar resources in the region, effectively linking retiring coal capacity with emerging renewable infrastructure.
