Overview

The Max Enery Hub is a 300 MW project proposed by CleanGen in North West Victoria, combining solar, widn and battery storage to deliver clean, reliable power to the grid. Harnessing the region's exceptional solar resource, the project will generate approximately 273,000 MWh of clean electricity each year — powering tens of thousands of Victorian homes and making a significant contribution to reducing the state's carbon emissions. It represents a meaningful step forward for Victoria's clean energy future and for the communities of the Sunraysia region.

CleanGen acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Country on which this project stands and is committed to building a respectful and lasting partnership with their communities throughout the life of the project.

Community Impact

Red Cliffs and the broader Sunraysia region have a proud tradition of hard work, community spirit and making the most of what the land offers. The Max Energy Hub project is designed to honour that spirit by creating genuine, lasting value for the people who call this region home. CleanGen will prioritise local employment and regional businesses, ensuring the economic benefits of the project flow directly into the Red Cliffs community. Working closely with local councils and community organisations, CleanGen will develop partnerships that reflect the region's needs and values — from job creation and regional procurement through to community programs that support education, wellbeing and long-term resilience for the Sunraysia region.

Benefits and Outcomes

The Max Energy Hub marks an important milestone in Victoria's shift toward a cleaner, more reliable energy future. By pairing solar generation with battery storage, the project will strengthen grid stability while meaningfully reducing the region's carbon footprint — putting the sun-drenched landscape of North West Victoria to work for the state.

The economic benefits extend well beyond construction. Through ongoing local procurement and community investment, value will continue to flow back into Red Cliffs and the Sunraysia region for the full life of the project. CleanGen is particularly committed to creating pathways for the next generation — with scholarships, mentorships and development programs targeted at young people, women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. In a region with so much potential, these initiatives are designed to ensure that the opportunities created by the clean energy transition are felt by those who need them most and remembered long after the project is built.
