Yorke Peninsula Energy Hub
ABOUT THE PROJECT
A new energy hub on the Yorke Peninsula to provide clean, renewable energy to South Australia.
The proposed Yorke Peninsula Energy Hub, formerly known as the Ceres Wind Farm, is a 600 to 850 megawatt (MW) community-initiated development on the traditional lands of the Narungga people, on South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula.
Acquired by Spark Renewables in May 2022, Spark Renewables is working on the revitalised project with local landowners to examine solar generation capability, microgrid options and connectivity to Adelaide via an undersea cable, as well as exploring opportunities to support requirements for firmed renewable generation to underpin hydrogen production.
