Upper Hunter Energy Park
About UHEP
The Upper Hunter Energy Park (UHEP; formerly known as Kyoto Energy Park) is focussed on the development of a wind farm in the Hunter Valley of NSW, Australia, approximately 12 km from the town of Scone.
The Project Site is located on Mountain Station, a private landholding situated along Bunnan Road in Owens Gap. The Project is strategically located to make use of over 10 years of climatic data indicating the site’s suitability for wind farm development.
About Us
Since 2022, the development, construction and operation of the Project have been owned by Maven Renewable Energy Pty Ltd Australia, a NSW-based business. The project is coordinated by YZ, a Hunter-based advisory services business to the renewable energy sector.

We are committed to delivering lasting benefits for the local community alongside the generation of renewable energy. This includes supporting local initiatives, employment and procurement opportunities, and environmental and social outcomes. Our Community Consultative Committee provides an important forum for sharing project information, discussing local issues and incorporating community feedback as planning progresses.
