Wow - this last quarter has been super busy!

We welcomed people from across Tasmania and afar, to two of our power stations as part of our annual open day program.

Together with our colleagues at TasNetworks, the Cradle Coast Authority and Central Coast Council, we launched the Cradle Coast Future Energy Hub in Burnie. This central shared space is perfect for collaboration and sharing information with the community – if you're in the area drop in and see us!

The global market potential for hydrogen export is massive, and Tasmania is in a unique position to lead the nation in production of green hydrogen.

And things started looking a little fishy... with the 39th FIPS-Mouche World Fly Fishing Championships kicking off last weekend. Competitors from across the globe are experiencing some of Tasmania's prime rivers and lakes in some pretty extreme weather conditions for summer!

This year, both Devils Gate and Tarraleah power stations opened their doors to great success, even if the weather tried to keep people away.  Our open days are an amazing chance to show people around these the assets, rarely seen from the inside, and talk to people about some of the exciting projects coming up.

We added a few photos from both days on our Facebook page, so let us know if you were there and share your photos with us! You can also check out a video from Tarraleah below.

Hydrogen has the ability to power everything from our homes to transport and industry. Scientists believe it has exciting possibilities as a global energy source, especially when generated by renewable energy, stored then delivered as needed.

Tasmania is in a unique position to lead the nation in the production of green hydrogen to meet both domestic and global demand. We have a strong competitive advantage to deliver a green hydrogen production industry alongside our Battery of the Nation plans and increase our renewable capacity, keep prices low and deliver more jobs for Tasmanian communities.

We are proud to be a major sponsor of the 39th FIPS-Mouche World Fly Fishing Championships (WFFC).

Tasmania was chosen for this event due to our vast reserves and a thriving population of wild trout. The event kicked off last weekend and was held at some of Tasmania's most iconic fly fishing locations.

Teams from across the world came out to compete over five sectors, over a five day period (wow – that’s high five’s all round I’d say!), in some pretty tough conditions.

Winning teams will be announced tomorrow at the official medal presentation, before everyone packs up their rods and head back home.

Twenty years ago, fishing conditions at Woods Lake were terrible.

We’ve been working with the Inland Fisheries Service to improve water quality and now Woods Lake is so good that it is one of the locations for the World Fly Fishing Championships.

If you enjoy the great outdoors, experiencing the natural beauty and heritage Tasmania has to offer, why not enjoy visiting some of our sites.

From boating to paddling, fishing to water-skiing, we have some spectacular places for you to explore over the summer break. You can find these gems on our website.

Fancy yourself a keen camper?

If you’re packing the camping gear into the boot of the car this holiday season there’s a good chance you’ll come across some of the camping and recreation sites we manage. There are dozens of them around the state and we would love you to use them. We've put together some tips on how to create the best camping experience when you get to your destination.
