The Hunter and Central Coast are critical for NSW's energy future
- They're home to new energy infrastructure that will power the Hunter and Central Coast and the rest of the state for decades to come.
- The Hunter is the primary funnel for freight and logistics from the Port of Newcastle to surrounding regions, including inland renewable energy zones.
