Summary and scope
The proposed Borumba Pumped Hydro Project is a long duration pumped hydro energy storage system being developed at Lake Borumba and surrounding areas located in between Imbil, west of the Sunshine Coast, and Jimna in the Somerset region. Pumped hydro energy storage has been used in electricity systems around the world for more than a century. It's a proven and reliable way to store large amounts of energy. The site was identified more than 40 years ago in the 1980s as having significant potential for a pumped hydro scheme because of ideal topography, an existing reservoir, and geological stability. The proposed project site is on State land and is on the traditional country of the Kabi Kabi People. As a multi-decade and intergenerational asset, the Borumba Project can provide long-duration energy storage that can support Queensland's energy transition. It is being designed to capture and store excess energy and then provide this stored energy back into the electricity grid for use by Queensland homes and businesses when it is needed.
