As part of the case study, the Climate Council has released a short film about the Kidston Renewable Energy Hub. The film depicts the difficulties that the township faced following the closure of the Kidston Gold Mine and the subsequent revitalisation as a result of Genex Power's existing and future developments.
The film is an excellent display of the benefits that have resulted, and that will continue to result, from rehabilitating an abandoned gold mine, including local employment and economic stimulation.
Furthermore, it paints the backdrop for the world's first renewable, dispatchable and affordable electricity scheme in addition to providing a perfect precedent for the rehabilitation of Australia's growing abandoned mining sites.
