The Port of Newcastle's proposed Clean Energy Precinct (CEP) has been examined through a comprehensive business case study by HPC Hamburg Port Consulting (HPC). The study, which evaluates various ownership, governance, and commercial structures, reveals two viable development pathways for the 220-hectare project. These pathways provide the port with the flexibility to determine its level of involvement in the burgeoning clean energy economy.

HPC's project manager, Ildo Agnetti, and associate partner, Christina Prieser, have emphasized the significance of this study in providing valuable insights and establishing a strong foundation for the next phase of planning and stakeholder engagement.
