K-REP Solar Farm

Kumbarilla Renewable Energy Park (K-REP) was a planned two-stage development located in Western Down Queensland, comprising a 100MW solar farm (stage 1) and a further 100MW solar farm and 80MW Hydrogen facility (stage 2).

The first stage, was proposed to provide 220GWh of green power to local industries in Queensland and a pilot scale green H2 production facilities with 2MW of electrolysis for on-site Research and Development, driving the future of renewable energies in cooperation with key industrial partners. The second stage was proposed to provide Hydrogen gas blending and export to the Korean market, as well as local Australian Hydrogen consumption such as mobility.

The project was a co-development between Elecseed and KOMIPO (Korea Midland Power) as part of the Korean Government decarbonisation strategy. The project had global investment partners such as Samchully Asset Management, whilst enjoys local support from Trade Investment Queensland (TIQ).

The project was rejected by Environment Minister in May 2024 and the land will likely be used for gas bores in the future, straddling three active petroleum leases.
