The Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro project is the first pumped hydro energy storage scheme globally to be developed in an abandoned gold mine. The giant battery located in Kidston, Far-North Queensland will pump water uphill when energy is abundant during off peak periods and releasing it to create power in times of peak demand.
The Kidston project is supported by NAIF’s 15-year concessional loan of AUD610m (USD475 million) - debt finance.
Genex will provide AUD120 million (USD93 million), including AUD25 million (USD19.5 million) investment by J-Power -equity finance.

Improving agricultural irrigation practices has the potential to address agricultural water inefficiencies for water-stressed regions like Guanajuato. MWS is a collaborative approach to improve economic outcomes for farmers, create resilient supply chains, and increase water efficiency by using ‘pay for performance’ to accelerate sustainable agriculture practices in water-stressed regions.

Globally, Sub-Saharan Africa experiences one of largest energy access gaps.
Electricity reaches only about half of its people, while clean cooking only one-third; roughly 600 million people lack electricity and 890 million cook with traditional fuels.
This has a disruptive impact on social infrastructure such as schools and hospitals which lack reliable electricity.
A clean energy revolution in sub-Saharan Africa is urgently needed to win the fight against energy poverty.
