 From article, (A pumped hydro project that reuses an old goldmine in north Queensland is close to securing federal funding.

The combined solar and pumped hydro generator is set to provide a quarter of the power needed to cover the shortfall from the closure of the Liddell coal-fired power station in New South Wales and can do it before 2021.

The plan is to build a world-first integration of solar generation and pumped hydro storage, repurposing the two 300-metre deep disused mine pits to create 250MW capacity that can run for six hours continuously.)
