25.01.2022 Abandoned bulldozer parked at Gell River in remote SW Tas. Photos taken in 2007 and again this week. The Gell River fire continues nearby, and has grown to over 20,000ha.

22.01.2022 Another milestone at the Thunderbolt today with the cracking of the intake gate and filling of the pipeline

19.01.2022 Commissioning continues at the Thunderbolt, shown here is the 1400l/s discharge during a load rejection from its full output of 900kw. When 900kw of energy instantly stops being taken up by the electrical grid, it gets dissipated like this!

14.01.2022 A milestone today with the final truck of concrete being poured at the Thunderbolt. 6.7m3 filled the pipeline thrust block and the plinth for the generator.

14.01.2022 Intake formwork

14.01.2022 A rewarding sight

14.01.2022 We were not disspointed through lack of anxiety today with both our Humboldt (Tyenna) and Thunderbolt (Ouse) mini-hydro's at risk from the 15000ha Gell River Fire currently burning in SW Tasmania. Thanks must go to the Tasmania Fire Service for their efforts and updates throughout the day, as well as all the crews on standby from Sustainable Timber Tasmania, Norske Skog Boyer and Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service.

13.01.2022 A nice water view.

12.01.2022 Power is connected, water is ready, offline testing is underway and online commissioning will commence mid next week. Exciting times after five years of hard work.

11.01.2022 Another year and another birthday for the dependable Humboldt Mini Hydro, 5 years old today. 1000rpm day and night, during snowstorms, bushfires and changes in government, the Humboldt continues to provide clean energy to Maydena, Westerway and surrounds.

09.01.2022 Commissioning engineer burning the midnight oil

07.01.2022 Simon the Sun Seeker. When it comes to sun the northside is where it’s at. The solar panel powers the headworks sensor unit, which supplies the station with river flow data, pond level and visuals from the CCTV system via a fiber optic link. ... Another milestone today with confirmation of the successful data link.

06.01.2022 A wet day today but we got the substation pad mount in. #transformer #345b

06.01.2022 Runner being balanced

05.01.2022 A great day was had last month where we celebrated our achievement on building the states latest renewable energy generator. Five years in the making, the 900kw Thunderbolt Hydro has been operational since May and has produced 2.3GWh of energy so far. The project spanned multiple governments and the Tasmanian Liberals were a key contributor to the projects success. Thanks to Angus Taylor MP and others for making the trip to the south and sharing in the celebration.

05.01.2022 When you leave your anchor hole brush at home but remembered to bring your toothbrush...

04.01.2022 With ash from nearby bushfires falling on us most days, we were thankful to have the 2.3km pipeline of our Thunderbolt Hydro finally buried. We’ve got straight on to building the bespoke intake.
