CleanCo Queensland

CleanCo Queensland is a corporation owned by the Queensland Government in Australia. CleanCo owns and operates a range of electricity generation assets in Queensland, including run-of-the-river and pumped-storage hydroelectricity, gas-fired power plants, grid-scale solar farms and wind farms. The Queensland Government has a long-term ambition to generate 50 per cent of the state’s electricity from renewable sources by 2030. CleanCo was established in 2018 to manage those facilities.

The two ministers responsible for CleanCo are the Treasurer of Queensland and the Minister for Energy and Clean Economy Jobs. The company was launched with an initial $250 million grant to develop 1,000 megawatts of renewable energy capacity.
