An integrated precinct in the Hunter Region, NSW — combining a 300MW IT load data centre, a 450MW / 3,600MWh battery energy storage system, and a 100MW AC solar photovoltaic facility — with the balance of renewable energy supply secured through Power Purchase Agreements from new renewable projects across Australia.
A new model for Australian digital infrastructure — hyperscale AI capacity delivered through an integrated strategy of on-site solar, grid-scale storage, a 132kV grid connection, and renewable energy Power Purchase Agreements.
Hunter Horizon Park combines four co-located infrastructure components — hyperscale computing, grid-scale storage, on-site solar generation, and dual diverse fibre connectivity — forming an integrated energy and technology ecosystem, grid-connected via a 132kV Ausgrid connection.
A 100MW AC solar photovoltaic facility providing on-site generation for a significant portion of the precinct's renewable energy needs. The balance of renewable energy supply is secured through Power Purchase Agreements with renewable energy projects across the country.
One of Australia's largest proposed battery systems. The BESS provides renewable energy firming, peak demand reduction, grid support services, and long-duration storage — underpinning data centre resilience and continuous operations.
A hyperscale campus with a 300MW IT load within a 450MW facility load envelope — purpose-built for sovereign AI, hyperscale cloud, high-performance computing, sovereign data storage, and government and defence workloads.
Dual diverse fibre paths with carrier diversity and access to major telecommunications corridors — delivering the low-latency, high-resilience connectivity required for AI, cloud, and sovereign data workloads.
Unlike traditional data centres, Hunter Horizon Park has been designed around an integrated energy philosophy.
On-site energy sources include a 100MW AC solar photovoltaic facility and a 450MW / 3,600MWh battery energy storage system. The balance of the precinct's renewable energy requirements will be met through Power Purchase Agreements with accredited renewable energy projects located across Australia — ensuring the grid is not negatively impacted by the development.
Located at 343 Masonite Road, Heatherbrae NSW 2324, within the Hunter–Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone. Set in an established industrial precinct, the site benefits from proximity to major transmission infrastructure, Newcastle Airport and RAAF Williamtown, the Port of Newcastle, and major telecommunications corridors — with access to a skilled regional workforce.

Energy Development Corporation has formally submitted the State Significant Development application for Hunter Horizon Park under SEPP (Planning Systems) 2021 — the next milestone in the project's regulated assessment pathway.
Join us at the Heatherbrae Community Hall for an open information session about the precinct, its benefits, and the planning process. All welcome.
Comprehensive environmental studies are being conducted across the site, including biodiversity surveys, heritage assessments, and water management planning to ensure responsible development.
