Currie Power Station is located on King Island, north-west of mainland Tasmania. It is part of an integrated system on the island. The station generates renewable solar power and uses diesel generation to provide firm capacity and ancillary services. The Huxley Hill Wind Farm is also a part of the integrated system and generates renewable energy from the wind.

Renewable energy integration is continuing on the island through the King Island Renewable Energy Integration Project
