Neoen acknowledges the Nukunu & Ngadjuri people, Traditional Owners of the land on which Hornsdale Power Reserve stores energy. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

FOR YOUR COMMUNITY

Hornsdale Power Reserve will bring a range of benefits to Jamestown and surrounding areas.

Watch this video to see the benefits another Neoen project brought to communities in Wunghnu, Numurkah in regional Victoria.

EXPECTED BENEFITS FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIA

In June 2020, Aurecon undertook an economic impact assessment of the expected economic benefits the project would deliver for South Australia and, in particular, the region of Yorke & Mid North.
